A public health inspector allegedly flushed a ₹10,000 bribe down a toilet when Vigilance officers arrived to catch him red-handed. The money was later recovered from the toilet pipe.

Sreeji G.S., public health inspector grade-II at Tirurangadi municipality, was arrested by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau on October 1 after allegedly accepting the bribe from a complainant seeking a municipal licence for a newly opened restaurant and juice shop.

The complainant had applied for the licence online but said the application was rejected on the ground that it was not in the proper format. He later approached Mr. Sreeji through a friend. The inspector reportedly demanded ₹10,000 to process the licence.
