The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) today booked a police naik attached to Chalisgaon City police station for allegedly demanding bribe from a wood trader.
"Police naik Natwar Kishor Jadhav, attached to Chalisgaon City police station in Jalgaon district, was booked by the ACB for demanding bribe of Rs 12,000 from a wood trader," an ACB release said here today.
"Jadhav had on November 19, 2015, stopped the complainant's wood-laden truck in Chalisgaon, which was on the way from Kannad taluka in Aurangabad district to Malegaon city in Nashik district," it said.
He then demanded Rs 12,000 from the trader to let the truck pass, following which the Nashik ACB laid a trap, it said.
However, Naik restrained accepting the bribe and even avoided meeting the complainant, it said.
But the ACB, in possession of proper evidence of the demand, today filed a police complaint in this connection, the release said.
A case was registered under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act by Chalisgaon City police station, it said.
