The Anti-Corruption Bureau has detained a government-appointed supervisor on suspicion of accepting a bribe of Rs 1,000 from a security guard in Thane city, Maharashtra, according to the ACB on Tuesday.

The individual in question was employed with the Security Guards Board for the districts of Brihanmumbai and Thane, which is responsible for deploying security personnel at various government institutions, reported news agency PTI. 

The supervisor had the duty of assigning shifts to security guards. He purportedly solicited Rs 1,000 as a bribe in exchange for assigning the preferred 'first shift' duty to the complainant at a civic-operated school in the area, as stated by the ACB in a press release.
