A Labour Officer posted in Navi Mumbai was arrested for allegedly demanding and accepting bribe of Rs 50,000, an ACB official said here today.
Narayan Bhoir (52) demanded the bribe from a complainant for not taking action against his firm and registering a case under Labour Act, said ACB (Navi Mumbai) inspector Vishal Jadhav in a statement.
Bhoir sought the illegal gratification also for issuing Contractor Labour Licence to the complaint, he said.
The Navi Mumbai unit of ACB laid the trap last evening and nabbed Bhoir when he was accepting the money from the complainant in Navi Mumbai.
He has been booked under various sections of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988.
