Chandigarh: In a significant anti-corruption operation, the Punjab Vigilance Bureau has arrested PRTC conductor Narinder Singh alias Laddi from the Bathinda depot for demanding a ₹20,000 bribe.
According to officials, the arrest was made following a complaint filed by a local resident from Talwandi Sabo, Bathinda district, who works as a driver at the same depot and sought a change in his bus route.
The complaint stated that Narinder Singh and fitter in-charge Kewal Krishan (Bus Stand, Goniana) demanded ₹20,000 in exchange for altering the bus route. During the process, the complainant recorded the entire conversation, which later became crucial evidence in the vigilance investigation.
