The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau seized ₹32,200 from a senior superintendent at the Kannur Regional Transport Office (RTO) during a surprise inspection on Thursday night.
Acting on confidential information that the official was collecting bribes through an intermediary from applicants seeking registration, re-registration, hypothecation cancellation permits, and other services, a special team from the Kozhikode Vigilance cell intercepted the official at Thayyil around 8 p.m. The official was travelling home in his own car when the unaccounted cash was found.
