Money was collected for passing the medical bill of a paralyzed employee.
Chittorgarh. Under the policy of zero tolerance against corruption in Rajasthan, the team of Special Unit Udaipur of Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) has carried out a major action on Saturday. Acting on the instructions of the ACB Headquarters, the team has arrested Sandeepa Vohra, the lady branch manager of the branch office (DCBO) of the Employees’ State Insurance Corporation (ESIC – Ministry of Labor and Employment, Government of India) located in Chittorgarh district, red handed while accepting a bribe amount of Rs 10,000 from the complainant. There has been a stir in the administrative circles after this big trap action in this important department under the Central Government. Giving details of this entire action, ACB officials said that the Bureau’s Special Unit Udaipur had received information from a confidential source that Dinesh Kumar Gadri, an employee of L&T Company working in Hindustan Zinc Chanderiya, had suddenly become paralyzed while on duty in August 2025. After this serious illness, in lieu of timely payment of medical bills of the said victim employee and passing of his medical leave (sick leave) money, ESIC branch manager Sandeepa Vohra was continuously harassing the complainant, the victim’s family members and the HR manager of L&T Company and was demanding bribe in exchange for passing the claim. It was also revealed in the confidential complaint that in the past too, Sandeepa Vohra had already accepted a bribe amount of about Rs 40,000 in the name of hushing up and passing various claim cases by putting undue pressure on the HR manager of the company and other aggrieved employees.
Considering the seriousness of the complaint, a special team was formed under the supervision of ACB Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Dr. Rameshwar Singh, officer in-charge of Special Unit Udaipur and Additional Superintendent of Police (Addl. SP) Rajeev Joshi. Verification of the bribe demand was done confidentially by Police Inspector Laxman Dangi on 29 May 2026. During this verification conversation, the statement of the accused woman officer Sandeepa Vohra demanding a bribe of Rs 10,000 for clearing the medical bills and leave money of the victim employee Dinesh Kumar Gadri was proved to be completely true. As soon as the bribe demand was confirmed, the ACB immediately laid a trap and carried out the advance trap operation on Saturday, May 30, 2026.
On Saturday afternoon, as soon as the complainant handed over the agreed bribe amount of Rs 10,000 to the accused branch manager Sandeepa Vohra in her office room, police inspector Laxman Dangi and his team, who were already in ambush, attacked. The ACB team caught the woman officer red handed with the bribe money and recovered the entire amount of bribe from her. When the accused officer washed his hands during the operation, they also turned pink. The ACB team’s intensive interrogation and search of the accused female manager at her office and her locations continued till late evening. The Bureau has registered a case in this entire matter under the Prevention of Corruption Act and has started further legal research.
