The action was taken by the ACB Jaipur Nagar-I unit under the directions of the ACB headquarters. Jitendra Singh was caught red-handed while taking Rs 4 lakh from a complainant for Dr Yogesh Sharma, Veterinary Officer-II, and Dr Rakesh Kaloria, Veterinary Officer-I, both serving in the Jaipur Municipal Corporation.
