HYDERABAD: Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) sleuths caught a South Central Railway (SCR) engineer red-handed while he was accepting Rs 40,000 bribe from a complainant at Rail Nilayam in Secunderabad on Monday.

The CBI sleuths arrested Srinivas, a junior engineer with the SCR and posted at Rail Nilayam. Srinivas reportedly demanded bribe to clear bills of a private contractor pertaining to purchase and installation of power traction equipment, a CBI official said.

Based on a complaint lodged by the contractor, CBI sleuths laid a trap at Rail Nilayam on Monday evening and caught the official red-handed when he was accepting the tainted money. A chemical test conducted on the fingers of the erring official yielded a positive result. He was arrested and would be produced before the local CBI court on Tuesday.
