The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has taken into custody a technical officer serving at the Welisara sub-office of the Wattala Pradeshiya Sabha over allegations of bribery.
The arrest follows a complaint filed by a resident of Ragama, who alleged that the officer requested and obtained Rs. 50,000 to expedite the approval of a building plan that reportedly did not meet required standards.
Acting on the complaint, CIABOC investigators conducted inquiries that led to the officer’s arrest.
The suspect is due to be produced before the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court for further legal proceedings.
