A government medical officer and

his aide were nabbed by the ACB Sunday in Maharashtra's

Parbhani district for allegedly accepting Rs 8000 in bribe for

conducting a surgery on an elderly woman, an official said.

Dr Gajanan Kale, the Medical Officer with the Parbhani

district hospital, had allegedly demanded the money to insert

a rod in one of the leg's of the woman who had met with an

accident, the Anti-Corruption Bureau official said.

Consequently, the son of the woman approached the

local ACB unit in Parbhani, around 500 kms from here,

following which a trap was set.

The official said Dr Kale, who is an MS in

Orthopaedics, asked the complainant to hand over the money to

his aide Pandurnag Dukre (27), a private person when the ACB

team nabbed them this morning.

Further investigation is underway.
