Chandigarh, December 25, 2024: The Punjab Vigilance Bureau arrested Amritpal, also known as Kaddu, from Maur in Bathinda district on charges of demanding and accepting bribes from employees at the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) office in Maur. The accused allegedly collected Rs 35,000 and sought an additional Rs 20,000 for arranging a tubewell connection.
