Talathi Asha Nanaji Chichghare and Kotwal Dhanraj Suresh Bhoyar were arrested yesterday after they demanded a sum of Rs 4500 from the farmer.
According to ACB, the farmer approached the Talathi to get the record of his agricultural land at Chandanweli village transferred in the name of his daughter.
The farmer then complained to ACB upon which a trap was laid and Dhanraj was caught red handed while accepting the bribe money on behalf of the Talathi.
