On 26 March 2025, Dhanbad Anti- Corruption team arrested a Jharkhand Gramin Bank agent, Dhanraj Kumar Choudhary, for accepting a bribe. The complainant said that Dhanraj was demanding a bribe of Rs 15000 in exchange for delivering the tractor, which was in Dhanraj’s possession in his residence in Bokaro. The victim said that he bought the tractor in the bank auction conducted on Feb 10, 2025 and made the required payment before it was released.
After this, the Central Bureau Investigation (CBI) laid a trap against him and caught him red handed soon after he accepted the illegal gratification of Rs 15000. When CBI arrested him and tried to place him in the vehicle, some people arrived and attacked the team. A complaint has been registered at the Halra Police Station regarding this incident.
The investigation agency said that the investigation regarding the victim’s complaint is ongoing and is taking place at the suspect’s house in Bokaro.
