The complainant had paid Rs 2000 to the doctor a few days back. After the complainant reported the matter to the Vigilance officials, a trap was laid and the accused doctor was apprehended while taking Rs 2000 as a second instalment from the complainant.

Following the trap, simultaneous searches are being carried out at two locations of Dr. Adhek from a disproportionate assets angle.
