The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a Recovery Agent working at Prathma UP Gramin Bank’s Rampur branch for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹20,000 from a customer.
The CBI registered a case on June 4, 2025, following a complaint that the Recovery Agent had demanded ₹20,000 as a bribe. The agent allegedly assured the complainant that he could get their insurance claim of ₹4 lakh processed by illegally influencing the Branch Manager.
The CBI set up a trap and caught the accused red-handed while accepting the bribe. Following the arrest, the agency also conducted searches at the accused’s premises in Rampur.
The CBI confirmed that an investigation is ongoing to identify other possible individuals involved, including any unknown public servants who may have supported or facilitated the illegal activity.
This case highlights the CBI’s continued efforts to crack down on corruption in banking and public services, particularly in rural banking institutions where vulnerable customers often rely on government-supported schemes like insurance.
More details will be released soon.
