In a crackdown on corruption, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested two contractual computer operators, both women, from the Setu office, for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 400 to facilitate the filing of a complaint.

Two women, Vandana Dinesh Shinde (age 50) and Jayshree Rohidas Pawar (age 45) have been arrested for accepting a bribe of Rs 400 at the Setu office in Haveli Upper Tehsil office.
