"Pradeep kumar Kole was caught when he was taking bribe of Rs 50,000 bribe from the contractor at the former's rented house in Sitamau town in the district," said Ujjain Lokayukta Inspector, Basant Shrivastava.

The Ujjain team of Lokayukta police had laid a trap after a complaint was lodged by one Viram Singh Tomar, a road contractor against sub-engineer Pradeep Kumar Kolhe.

The contractor was constructing a road, worth Rs 51.22 lakh, under 'Mukhya Mantri Gram Sadak Yojna' and had completed the work of Rs 14 lakh for which he had submitted the bills for payment," the inspector said.

A trap was laid and Kole was caught the moment he accepted the money and kept it on a bed sheet at his residence.

Lokayukta sleuths also seized the bed-sheet along with the money. A case under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act was registered against the engineer in this regard and further investigations are underway.
