Two officials of Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation's (PCMC) fire department were booked for bribery by the city unit of anti-corruption bureau (ACB) on Saturday.
The two officials were identified as Uday Mahadev Wankhede, 52, a resident of Kamgarnagar in Pimpri, and Anil Sadashiv Mane, 32, a resident of Alandi. The complaint in the matter was filed by a 30-year-old who has a construction site in Wakad.
The complainant had applied for a no objection certificate (NOC) from the fire department. In exchange for processing his application and providing the NOC, the two officials, Wankhede and Mane, had accepted a bribe. Wankhede accepted Rs 15,000 while Mane accepted Rs 1,000 from the complainant.
The complainant approached ACB officials, who in-turn, set a trap and arrested the two men while accepting the bribe on Saturday. A case under Prevention of Corruption Act was registered with the city police against the two firemen.
