Based on a tip off, the police raided the place and caught the officer.

The arrested officer is Dr. Raveendra Shah, who received 14 covers with a total amount of Rs. 49,000 from medical shop owners.

A Lokayukta official told reporters that the name of the person who tipped them off cannot be revealed, adding that the incident proves that medical shop owners violate rules at the cost of their customers’ health.

Dr. Shah received bribes from 14 medical shop owners in Ullal and Thokkottu not only to renew their licenses, but also to do them some favours during the annual inspection.

Dr. Shah will be produced in court tonight.
