The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) here today arrested a Congress worker and his son while allegedly taking a bribe of Rs one lakh.
Satish Upadhyay and his son Abhishek were caught red-handed while taking the bribe from a farmer from Patiya village in Karjan tehsil of the district, an ACB official said.
Upadhyay's wife is the chairperson of health committee of Vadodara district panchayat, and the father-son duo had demanded bribe for facilitating conversion of the status of complainant's land from 'agricultural' to 'non-agricultural'.
The power to effect this change lies with the district panchayat, the ACB official said.
Both were arrested at their house here while allegedly taking the money.
