CBI Books BHEL Officer and Three Others for Graft
Imagine a big company called BHEL that makes electricity equipment.
Some people who work there, including an officer named Siva Nageswara Rao, are accused of taking money that was supposed to be paid to other companies that helped BHEL.
Instead of paying those helper companies, the money was sent to different places, and it's believed that Siva Nageswara Rao took about 68 lakh rupees for himself.
Because of this, a detective agency called the CBI is investigating and has started a case against these people.
They even searched some places where these people lived or worked.
