Lokayukta police in Bengaluru arrested Bescom assistant executive engineer Manojkumar B (53) after catching him in a sting operation for demanding a Rs 50,000 bribe to authorize an extra 25 kW of power to a temporary meter at a building in Hegganahalli, West Bengaluru. The building owner reported the incident to the Lokayukta’s city wing, which set the trap; Manojkumar’s associate, electrical contractor Kantharaju, was also apprehended while receiving the cash near the Bescom office.
