Udupi, March 7, 2012 : The Udupi Lokayukta police arrested Trivikdram Adiga, the revenue inspector of Ajekar, on March 5 Tuesday after conducting a raid to investigate a complaint lodged by Chandrashekar Nayak.

 

 

Mr. Nayak had submitted a land-related application and had tried to find out about its status in the VA’s office in Hermunde.
