Patna: The Vigilance Investigation Bureau has arrested Dr Ajay Kumar, Additional Director (Health) of the Tirhut Division, after he was allegedly caught accepting a bribe of Rs 40,000 during a trap operation in Bihar.

According to officials, the action followed a complaint alleging that money was being demanded in exchange for completing official work. The bureau subsequently conducted a verification exercise and found sufficient grounds to proceed with a trap operation.

Trap Operation Conducted Following Complaint

Officials said the vigilance team devised a strategy after confirming the allegations. As part of the operation, the complainant was sent to meet the accused official with the agreed amount.

The bureau stated that Dr Ajay Kumar was apprehended immediately after allegedly accepting the Rs 40,000 bribe. The cash was recovered during the operation.

Accused Taken into Custody

Following the arrest, the accused official was taken into custody for questioning. Investigators are examining the circumstances surrounding the alleged demand for the bribe and the official work linked to the complaint.

The Vigilance Investigation Bureau is also seeking to determine whether any other individuals were involved in the alleged corruption case.

Documents and Records May Be Examined

Sources indicated that investigators may scrutinise documents and records related to the official’s office and other locations connected to the inquiry.

Officials believe the examination of records could help establish whether the alleged incident was an isolated case or part of a broader pattern requiring further investigation.

Inquiry Continues

The bureau said the investigation remains ongoing and that further legal action will be taken based on the findings.

The arrest of a senior health department official is among the latest actions taken by the state’s anti-corruption agencies as they continue efforts to address allegations of bribery and misconduct within the administrative system.

Officials said additional details may emerge as the investigation progresses.

  • 🚗 Bihar is set to strengthen road safety standards with a major change in the driving licence process. Soon, applicants seeking a Light Motor Vehicle (LMV) licence will be required to complete certified training from a recognised driving institute before obtaining their licence.

The decision, approved by the Bihar Road Safety Council, aims to ensure that new drivers receive proper training in traffic rules, road safety practices, and responsible driving behaviour. With 41 operational driving training schools already functioning across the state and more institutes under development, the initiative is expected to improve driving standards and contribute to reducing road accidents.

Officials say the reform will help create a culture of safer and more disciplined driving across Bihar, placing greater emphasis on skill-based training before drivers take to the roads.
