As the complainant was unwilling to pay the bribe, he approached the ACB through its toll-free helpline, 1064. Following a preliminary verification, ACB officials found the complaint to be genuine and laid a trap through the Vadodara City ACB Field Unit.

During the operation, the accused allegedly accepted Rs 25,000 from the complainant outside Patidar Rajwadi Tea Stall on the road from Walia Chowkdi to Bharuch in Ankleshwar taluka. The ACB team immediately apprehended him and recovered the entire bribe amount.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the accused misused his position as a public servant and sought illegal gratification in connection with the matter. Further investigation is underway. DeshGujarat
