Investigators said power staff demanded lakhs for each meter. Rates were reportedly fixed per transformer and apartment floor. Complaints suggest money flowed from linemen to senior engineers.
GHMC town planning officers also face charges of ignoring unauthorised floors. Vigilance officials said evidence will be reviewed before action is taken.
A similar probe may be extended to GHMC soon, sources indicated.
