Gwalior (Madhya Pradesh): An employee of Employees Insurance Corporation was caught red-handed while allegedly accepting Rs 5000 bribe on Friday.
Lokayukta registered the case and started investigation under sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
Lokayukta Deputy Superintendent of Police Raghavendra Rishiswar on February 20, said that the compliant is posted as a contractual employee in Madhya Pradesh Electricity Distribution Company. She said that her Rs 50,000 for maternity leave were pending.
