The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a senior manager of corporate communications employed with the National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) Limited for allegedly demanding and accepting ₹8 lakh in bribe from an advertising company official.
The accused has been identified as Vijay Kumar, who was posted at the NTPC’s Delhi office.
“We are deeply concerned by the allegations of bribery involving one of our employees. The alleged incident is an individual act and does not reflect on the values of our organisation. Meanwhile, the employee has been suspended from the rolls of the company with immediate effect,” the NTPC said on Friday.
