A video of a fire and rescue services department officer in Kancheepuram demanding a bribe of ₹3 lakh to issue an NOC to a private medical college building goes viral on social media.
Sources said an officer in the Vellore zone fire and rescue services department and Kancheepuram fire department had recently inspected a building constructed at a medical college in Thandalam for NOC.
When a representative from the college approached the Kancheepuram officer about issuing NOC, the officer asked for ₹3 lakh.
However after a long bargaining, the officer was seen agreeing for a sum of ₹1.50 lakh as advance.
The representative who was seated opposite the officer, secretly shot the video on his mobile.
Efforts to contact the fire officer proved futile as severalphone calls went unanswered. A senior fire officer said that they too had seen the video and that an internal probe is on in the case. “The action would follow based on the report,” he said.
