Madikeri: Make hay when the sun shines goes the proverb that means act while an opportunity exists or to take action while a situation is favourable. This Bill Collector from Madikeri Town Municipal Council saw an opportunity to make some money when the State Government decided to hand over the houses built for 2018 flood victims.
He then approached a beneficiary and told him that he has to pay Rs. 25,000 bribe to get a Government house. Not taking things lying down, the beneficiary, however, complained to the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) that caught the Bill Collector red-handed while accepting the bribe on Friday. The bill collector has been identified as 35-year-old Lohit.
