The Gujarat Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested a sarpanch in Sabarkantha district of the State for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹1.5 lakh from a factory owner, officials said on October 8.
Mukesh Parmar, the sarpanch of Bavsar group village panchayat in Himmatnagar taluka, was caught red-handed on October 7 while allegedly accepting the cash from a factory owner, the ACB said in a release.
The complainant had recently set up a factory on a plot that falls under the jurisdiction of Bavsar group panchayat. Since the approval of the sarpanch is necessary for the construction, the factory owner had requested Mr. Parmar to give his written clearance a few months back so that civil work can be started.
