According to the ACB, the complaint was filed by a citizen involved in a money lending business. The complainant had approached Gohil to rectify 22 erroneous entries in the government’s online portal. Gohil allegedly demanded ₹400 per entry, totaling ₹8,800, to carry out the corrections. Unwilling to pay the bribe, the complainant approached the ACB, which then laid a trap.
