Bengaluru: The state government issued an order suspending Excise Deputy Commissioner Jagadish Nayak and Excise Superintendent Thammanna K M following their arrest by the Lokayukta while accepting bribe.
The allegation that they accepted a bribe has been proven prima facie, the order issued by the excise wing of the finance department stated. Nayak and Thammanna were trapped by Lokayukta sleuths while accepting a bribe and arrested on January 17. This has given ammunition to the Opposition BJP to attack the Congress government over corruption.
