According to PTI reports on Friday, an official from the Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) apprehended a state excise department officer for purportedly soliciting and receiving a bribe of Rs 3.25 lakh.
He had allegedly asked a bribe from a restauranteur for a liquor licence in Maharashtra’s Nagpur city, an official said on Friday.
Acting on a complaint, a team from the ACB caught Ravindra Laxman Kokare (49), an inspector with the state excise department, Nagpur Unit, red-handed while accepting the bribe in the Dharampeth area of the city on Thursday evening, the official said.
Kokare allegedly demanded Rs 4 lakh from a restaurateur to expedite his application for a liquor licence, he said.
