It was also alleged that after negotiation, the accused agreed to accept part payment of Rs 5 lakh as the first instalment of the bribe money on August 12.
The CBI laid a trap and caught the accused public servants and a private person red-handed with the bribe money of Rs 5 lakh.
As part of the probe, searches were conducted at the residential premises of one of the accused persons which led to recovery of incriminating documents that established the criminal conspiracy, abetment and demand of illegal gratification.
