The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) team has arrested the branch manager of Prathama UP Gramin Bank while he was accepting a bribe of ₹30,000. The accused branch manager had demanded ₹60,000 as a bribe for approving a loan file from the Khadi Gram Udyog.
Sachin, a resident of Kotkadar village in the Nagina Dehat police station area, reported that he had applied for a loan to set up a flour mill under the Khadi Gram Udyog scheme. The application was approved, and a file for a loan of ₹6 lakh was sent to the Prathama UP Gramin Bank branch in Kotkadar. In return, the bank branch manager, Priyanshu Tyagi, demanded ₹60,000 as a bribe, which amounted to 10% of the loan. He threatened to reject the file if the bribe was not paid. After two months, the file was sent back to the bank, but the manager still refused to process it without the bribe.
Sachin contacted the CBI in Ghaziabad. On Thursday, the CBI team arrived in Kotkadar and, as planned, Sachin went to give ₹30,000 to the bank manager. The ₹30,000 was meant to be paid after the file was approved. Sachin alleged that the manager instructed him to give the money to the peon, Madan, outside. Sachin complied, and the CBI team caught Madan accepting the bribe. Madan was then taken to the branch manager, and upon confirmation, the CBI team arrested the branch manage
