“The contractor had received a civic work costing 9.49 lakh. The corporator wanted a ten per cent cut failing which he threatened to obstruct the work. The contractor lodged a complaint with ACB on February 23 this year alleging that Jadhav was demanding a bribe,” Chavan said.

He said an ACB probe confirmed that the corporator had demanded a bribe of 1 lakh.

“We booked him today under Prevention of Corruption Act. A case has been registered with the Khadakpada police station. Jadhav has not been arrested so far and further probe is on,” Chavan said. PTI COR BNM BNM
