Smashing a major bribery racket in Madhya Pradesh, the CBI has arrested 13 people, including an inspector working with the probe agency and the chairmen of two nursing colleges in the state for alleged corruption to get favourable inspection reports, officials said Monday. Teams had been constituted on the orders of the Madhya Pradesh High Court for conducting state-wide inspections to ascertain whether the colleges were following the laid down norms and standards for nursing colleges with respect to infrastructural facilities and faculty. The CBI action was initiated when an internal vigilance of the agency received inputs that its officers were involved in the alleged corruption in connection with the inspections. Raj was caught "red-handed" on Sunday while allegedly accepting illegal gratification of Rs 10 lakh from Malay College of Nursing Chairman Anil Bhaskaran and his wife Suma Anil, an official alleged.
The couple has also been arrested. Sushil Kumar Majoka, a Madhya Pradesh police personnel currently in CBI on attachment, was also taken into custody by the CBI, officials said. The CBI also arrested the chairman of Indore-based R D Memorial College of Nursing and Pharmacy, Indore Ravi Bhadoria, Director of Gwalior-based Bhaskar College of Nursing Jugal Kishor Sharma, Principal Bhopal-based Bhabha University Jalpana Adhikari and Om Goswami of Pratyansh College of Nursing and Paramedical, Indore, they said. The CBI had constituted seven core teams and three to four support teams comprising officials from the agency, those nominated by nursing colleges in the state and patwaris, in compliance with directions of the high court to conduct the inspections, the central agency said in a statement here. "During monitoring of inspections being carried out by various teams, officials of one of the support teams, including Rahul Raj, Inspector, CBI were found to be indulging in corrupt activities. "It was observed that they were giving favourable inspection reports in exchange for bribes collected through conduits," a CBI spokesperson said.
