The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Special Court, Kurnool, on Thursday awarded three years Rigorous Imprisonment (RI) to District Medical and Health Officer (DM&HO) Dr. M. Meenakshi Mahadev on charges of accepting bribe.
In 2017, the accused, who was working as in-charge DM&HO for erstwhile Kurnool district, was caught while accepting ₹30,000 bribe from a doctor for issuing renewal certificate to a nursing home and scanning centre. The court also imposed ₹10,000 fine and directed the tainted DM&HO to pay ₹19,500 compensation to the victim.
