The Pune unit of the Maharashtra Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Friday arrested a Shivajinagar court bailiff for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 1,000 from a woman.
The accused has been identified as Lakshman Nathu Kale (40). ACB’s deputy superintendent of police Nitin Jadhav said a 29-year-old woman, who is party in a land dispute case filed in the civil court in Shivajinagar, lodged a complaint against Kale who works as a bailiff at the court.
According to the ACB, Kale allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 1,000 from the complainant for issuing summons in the case asking the respondents to appear before the court.
A team from the ACB verified the complaint and confirmed Kale had allegedly demanded a bribe for issuing the summons and submitting a report regarding it in court. ACB sleuths laid a trap and nabbed the bailiff red-handed when he was accepting the bribe from the woman at gate number 4 of Shivajinagar court on Friday.
