BHILWARA: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Udaipur Saturday arrested Sandeepa Vohra, branch manager of the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) in Chittorgarh, while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000 to clear the medical bills and leave payments of a paralysed employee.

According to the ACB, the complaint was received through intelligence inputs indicating that Vohra was demanding a bribe to process the claims of an L&T employee posted at Hindustan Zinc, Chanderia, who suffered a paralytic stroke while on duty in Aug 2025.

The officials said that the accused had been pressuring the employee’s family members and the company’s HR manager for money in exchange for clearing medical bills and leave-related payments.

A team was constituted under the supervision of ACB deputy inspector general of police Dr Rameshwar Singh which was led by ACB Special Unit Udaipur in-charge ASP Anil Joshi.

After the bribe demand was verified, Inspector Laxman Dangi and his team laid a trap to catch the accused redhanded. The complainant reached Vohra office with the bribe money which the accused allegedly accepted.

Following this, the ACB team immediately nabbed her and recovered the bribe amount from her possession.

Officials have claimed that the investigation has revealed that Vohra was a habitual offender and had allegedly demanded bribes in multiple cases. She had previously allegedly accepted Rs 40,000 bribe to clear an employee’s claims.

Further investigation is underway.
