BENGALURU: Senior IAS officer J Manjunath, who was transferred from the post of deputy commissioner of Bengaluru Urban district three days ago following corruption charges, was on Monday arrested by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). He has been remanded in judicial custody for 14 days. The government suspended Manjunath until the completion of probe.
The arrest came after the HC called ACB a "centre of corruption" & a "collection centre" as the anti-graft cell chose to go slow with a probe related to bribery allegations made against the officials of Bengaluru Urban district deputy commissioner's office. Manjunath had been accused of collecting bribe through his staff.
