The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested an engineer from the Central Public Works Department (CPWD) in connection with an alleged Rs 50 lakh bribery case involving a real estate group.

According to the CBI, the accused engineer allegedly received the bribe amount on behalf of the Executive Engineer from representatives of a real estate group. The money was reportedly linked to undue favours in official work. The agency has registered a case and further investigation is underway.

What this means for property buyers

For homebuyers and investors in Maharashtra, such action signals stricter scrutiny of government engineers and officials involved in infrastructure and real estate projects.
