In Patna, the Vigilance Investigation Bureau (VIB) conducted a successful operation leading to the arrest of a revenue employee, Rana Ranvijay Gopal, and a middleman, Guddu Kumar, for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹35,000. The arrests occurred at the Mainpuranda panchayat bhawan, where Gopal was caught red-handed taking the bribe, while Kumar was found in possession of ₹10,000. The case originated from a complaint lodged by Praveen Kumar Suman, a resident of Bikram, on June 3. He alleged that Gopal and Kumar demanded money to submit a report that would facilitate the removal of encroachments by four houses on a main road adjacent to his property. Following the verification of the complaint and evidence of the demand, a trap was set up, leading to their arrests. Both individuals are scheduled to be presented before the special vigilance court in Patna after interrogation, and further investigations are ongoing.
