Ravikumar had told Kumar to hand over the money to Balakrishnan (59), a broker from Velandipalayam. Based on Kumar's complaint, the vigilance department gave chemically-treated money to Kumar to hand over to the middle man Balakrishnan and then caught him red-handed while accepting the money. On further enquiry, Balakrishnan revealed that Ravikumar was the one who had asked him to collect the money. The police have arrested both Ravikumar and Balakrishnan. Investigation is on for further evidence of bribery at the office.
