Jharkhand vigilance sleuths arrested a food inspector, Sanjay Kumar in Ranchi Monday and seized Rs.3,000 from him, said an official.

"We arrested Sanjay Kumar who took a bribe of Rs.3,000 from a restaurant owner for giving him a licence. We were informed by the owner and on Monday, we trapped him by asking the eating outlet proprietor to 'fulfil' his demand," an official of the vigilance bureau said.

He said: "We raided the house of the same official and recovered Rs.80,000 in cash and documents related to investment. We will assess the investment and his properties and may initiate a disproportionate assets case against him."
