Two staff member of the central purchasing department were caught red handed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) while taking a bribe of Rs50,000 on Monday. The arrested accused have been identified as Praveen Patil, a clerk, and his assistant Dhananjay Jadhav.
According to an ACB officer, the complainant is a BMC tender holder. His job is to supply food to the BMC-run schools in Dadar. But allegedly, the food was not supplied regularly in the schools. Some one filed a complaint against the tender holder in central purchasing department.
Patil and Jadhav demanded Rs1.5 lakh from the tender holder for not taking action against him. An ACB official said: "The duo had already taken Rs60,000 from the tender holder earlier. But he did not want to pay the rest of the bribe. So he approached the ACB office and lodged complaint against the duo."
The ACB officers laid a trap, on the basis of complaint, and caught Patil and Jadhav red-handed while accepting Rs50,000.
