BHUBANESWAR: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has grilled over half dozen people in connection with the Rs 10 lakh bribery case related to a senior executive of central PSU Bridge and Roof Company (India) Limited.
On Sunday, general manager of a plush hotel appeared before the CBI to submit CCTV footage of the restaurant where the three accused in the bribery case had reportedly met on December 7 evening.
