"We have arrested Arjun Vanzara, who is a mamlatdar (revenue officer), and his deputy Jaswant Hujra when they were accepting bribe of Rs 75,000," Deputy SP of ACB P R Gehlot said.
D G Vanzara is an accused in Soharabuddin Sheikh, Tulsi Prajapati and Ishrat Jahan fake encounter cases.
According to ACB, it laid a trap on a complaint filed by Chintan Patel, a farmer from Varsad village.
"There was a wrong entry in the land records about a piece of land owned by Chintan Patel. He approached the mamlatdar for getting it corrected. Arjun Vanzara demanded Rs 1 lakh for correcting the mistake and after negotiation the deal was sealed for Rs 75,000," Gehlot said.
ACB officers also recovered Rs 3.27 lakh from Vanzara's car, he said, adding further probe is on.
