A sub-engineer of district government was sent to Adiala Jail on judicial remand after he was arrested on charges of accepting bribe from a private contractor. The civil engineer was produced before the court by officials of the Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE). ACE Inspector Asif Bhatti told The Express Tribune that they received a complaint from Ibrahim Satti, a contractor in Murree, that the engineer had demanded Rs5,000 for approval of bills.
