Jaipur, Aug 9 (PTI) Rajasthan's Anti-Corruption Bureau on Friday arrested three people, including the chief manager of the District Industries Centre in Tonk, in an alleged bribery case.

The transaction was being done at Meena's home.

Chartered accountant Jayant Jain, the third accused, was also arrested.

The Anti-Corruption Bureau received confidential information at its headquarters that Meena was "transacting bribe money" through Khandelwal in exchange for preparing incorrect reports for various industrial development schemes, passing wrong loans and giving undue benefits to ineligible persons on the basis of forged bills, Mehrada said.
