Jamnagar: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Gujarat today nabbed two individuals in a bribery case involving ₹75,000 in Jamnagar.

According to case details, the complainant, involved in a mining lease at Bhalsan-Beraja village, alleged that Dinsheshbhai Tejabhai Jepar, husband of the Sarpanch of Beraja Gram Panchayat, demanded a bribe of ₹75,000 to ensure no harassment or obstruction from the Beraja Gram Panchayat office regarding their mining activities.

Acting on the complaint, the ACB conducted a trap, during which the accused were caught in incriminating conversations and coordinating to receive the bribe.
