In its ongoing campaign against corruption, the Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) has arrested Mohinder Singh, Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), Nabha, red-handed while accepting a bribe of ₹50,000.
An official VB spokesperson stated that the arrest followed a complaint filed by a resident of Village Pedhan, Tehsil Nabha, Patiala. The complainant alleged that the accused SDO demanded ₹70,000 to transfer two tubewell connections into the complainant’s name, but the amount was negotiated down to ₹50,000.

During the arrest, the VB team recovered two passbooks for the tubewell connections, already transferred to the complainant’s name, from the accused’s possession. Mohinder Singh will be presented in court tomorrow, and further investigations are underway to probe the case.
