Jammu: An anti-graft body today filed a charge sheet against a government official who was caught red-handed while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000 here over three years ago.
The charge sheet was filed before the special court of anti-corruption against former booking manager in the office of transport commissioner, Jammu, Deepak Sharma, a spokesman of the Vigilance Organisation Jammu said.
