Palanpur: The anti-corruption bureau (ACB) arrested the Banaskantha regional officer of Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) while accepting a bribe of Rs 15,000
The accused officer I B Chaudhary had demanded the money from a marble stone factory owner for not taking any action in the notice that he had served against him. The notice was sent for not disposing off the waste of stone cutting.
When the owner approached Chaudhary to reply to the notice, he demanded Rs 15,000. The owner then approached ACB inspector KJ Patel, who led a trap with other sleuths and caught the officer red-handed. TNN
