Chandigarh, Sep 6 - In yet another embarrassment for the zonal office of the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) here, its zonal director S.K. Sekhri was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Sunday evening for accepting a bribe.

CBI deputy inspector general (DIG) Mahesh Aggarwal said that Sekhri was trapped by CBI officials when he accepted the bribe of Rs.200,000 from the owner of a Himachal Pradesh-based pharmaceutical company at a designated place in Delhi Sunday.

Aggarwal said that Sekhri was nabbed following a complaint by the company owner based in Baddi industrial town in Himachal Pradesh, 45 km from Chandigarh.

His house in Delhi's Prashant Vihar was also raided, he said.

The NCB official had raided the factory of the complainant last month and later allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs.
