A public prosecutor attached to the City Civil and Sessions Court in Bengaluru was arrested by the Karnataka Lokayukta Police after allegedly being caught red-handed accepting a bribe of ₹5,000 from a complainant.

The accused has been identified as Savitha Naveen Patil, 55, who was serving as a Public Prosecutor at CCH-54, Bengaluru.

According to officials, the prosecutor allegedly demanded ₹5,000 from a complainant to submit objections in a case registered at the Chennamanakere Achukattu Police Station.

The complainant, Manjunath, 40, a resident of Banashankari, approached the Lokayukta and alleged that the prosecutor had sought a bribe to carry out the official work.
