The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken into custody the Branch Manager of the State Bank of India in Dumaria, located in Godda district, Jharkhand, as part of an ongoing bribery investigation. The case was initiated on May 31, 2023, after the manager allegedly demanded a bribe of ₹60,000 to process a claim under the Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), which involved a total claim of ₹2 lakh related to the complainant’s deceased mother. On June 1, the CBI apprehended the accused while he was reportedly demanding and accepting a total bribe of ₹77,000. The investigation revealed that the accused also sought an additional ₹17,000 to remove a hold on a withdrawal from the complainant's account. Following the arrest, the CBI executed searches at the accused's office and home to collect more evidence. This incident is part of a series of anti-corruption efforts by the CBI, which recently included the arrest of other officials involved in significant financial misconduct.
