AJMER/JAIPUR: The Bhilwara unit of ACB on Monday arrested Mandalgarh Nagar Palika’s chairman for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 4.20 lakh. The accused was demanding it as his 23 per cent commission in lieu of clearing pending bills of the infrastructure projects in the nagar palika area.
A complainant approached the ACB and said Sanjay Dangi had been demanding a commission for clearing every small and big bill. The complainant was unwilling to give in to Dangi’s demands. Dangi is a local businessman who won the election as an Independent but was supported by BJP.
“We laid a trap after verifying the complaint and caught Dangi for accepting the bribe of Rs 4.20 lakh. Earlier he had accepted Rs 30,000,” said BL Soni, director general, ACB.
Soni added that ACB teams have initiated search operations at Dangi’s office and residential premises.
“We have collected some incriminating documents that will help us in the case of Prevention of Corruption Act against the accused,” he added.
ACB officials said that the details of the searches would be shared as soon as they make further recoveries in the case.
