But FDA Vijay had demanded a bribe of Rs.3,000 for issuing the documents, following which Latha lodged a complaint with the ACB Police.

Vijay was accepting Rs.3,000 from Latha at the KHB Office on Friday, when he was trapped and arrested by the ACB sleuths. Vijay was later produced before the Magistrate, when he was remanded to Judicial custody.
