NEW DELHI: Lieutenant governor VK Saxena on Friday granted approval to the anti-corruption branch to investigate a complaint against a Delhi government officer, who, during his posting as deputy secretary in chief minister’s office in 2017, allegedly demanded a bribe from a civil defence volunteer.
Sources said Mukul Manrai, who was looking after the chief minister’s Jan Samvad initiative and Public Grievance Management System, allegedly demanded monetary gratification from a civil defence volunteer (CDV) in lieu of certifying his attendance register. When refused, Manrai allegedly wrote to the civil defence officer for the victim’s removal and, as a result, the latter could not get his last salary.
