The CBI has arrested four people, including a Deputy General Manager (DGM) of Orissa Stevedores Limited, in a ₹25 lakh bribery case involving a Chief Mechanical Engineer of the Paradip Port Trust, officials said Friday.
Saroj Kumar Das, Chief Mechanical Engineer of Paradip Port Trust, had allegedly demanded ₹60 lakh as bribe from the company through his conduit Sumanta Rout to let it off without paying for the repair of a conveyor belt at the port that was damaged during unloading of its goods, they said.
The CBI team has arrested Rout, Das, a private person Sankha Subhra Mitra, and DGM of Orissa Stevedores Limited (OSL) Surya Narayan Sahu in connection with the case, the officials said.
