The accused JE had already taken Rs 2000 for this purpose and demanded the remaining money. The complainant has recorded the conversation with JE while he was demanding the bribe and submitted it to the VB as an evidence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The spokesperson informed that after preliminary verification of this complaint, the VB team laid a trap during which the accused JE was caught red handed while he was accepting a bribe of Rs 4000 as a second instalment from the teacher in the presence of two official witnesses. In this regard a case under prevention of corruption act has been registered against the JE at VB police station Jalandhar range. The accused would be produced in the competent court tomorrow and further investigation into this case was under progress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VB drive against corruption: Education department JE nabbed red handed taking Rs 4000 bribe \u00a0 Accused previously received Rs 2000 as first instalment \u00a0 Chandigarh September 29, 2025 &#8211; \u00a0The Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB), during its drive against corruption has apprehended Harjit Singh, Junior Engineer (JE), Education Department, posted at\u00a0 Kapurthala red-handed accepting a bribe [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":5845,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-52081","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest","category-punjab"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.2 -
