ACB traps Talati mantri and husband of Sarpanch in bribe case

Prantij: Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Gujarat Police has nabbed two persons including a Talati mantri in a bribe case. A complainant has developed a seeds processing plant in Amodara village-based farm. He was requiring Aakarni patra (assessment letter) from Amodara gram panchayat for which he met an accused Talati mantri.

Accused are identified as Sandhyaben Jayamtilal Parmar (38) Talati mantri of Amodara gram panchayat in Prantij taluka of Sabarkantha district and Natvarbhai Mulabhai Chamar (60) from the same village.

After several visits and attempts by the complainant to his office, the accused Talati demanded Rs. 25,000 bribe for reduced revenue tax and Rs. 5,000 bribe for reduced Aakarni (assessment). As the complainant was not willing to pay a bribe, he contacted the ACB police station in Himmatngaar following which a trap was arranged and Talati and the husband of the Sarpanch were nabbed while receiving Rs. 30,000 bribe.
