The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Branch Manager and Tout/Bank Mitra of Bank of Baroda, Nonari Bujurg Branch, District- Kanpur Dehat, UP in a bribery case.
The CBI registered the instant case on 03.06.2026 based on a complaint alleging that complainant obtained a loan of Rs. 10,00,000 under the Prime Minister’s Employment Generation Programme (PMEGP) from Bank of Baroda,
Nonari Bujurg Branch, Distt- Kanpur Dehat, UP for setting up a solar flour mill in December, 2023. After completion of two years, the complainant obtained the requisite documents which were necessary for claiming interest subsidy under Pt. Deendayal Gramodyog Rojgar Yojana from aforesaid bank branch and further received first installment of interest subsidy in his account. It was further alleged that when the complainant again approached the Branch Manager for the requisite documents for claiming interest subsidy under Pt. Deendayal Gramodyog Rojgar Yojana, the accused Branch Manager demanded an undue advantage of Rs. 25,000 through the Tout/Bank Mitra in the said bank branch, from the complainant as a bribe for issuing the said requisite documents and threatened him that his requisite documents for interest subsidy will not be issued if the demanded bribe is not paid.
The CBI laid a trap on Thursday and caught the accused Tout red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs.15,000 on behalf of the accused Branch Manager from the complainant. Investigation is continuing.
