Woman govt employee held in bribery case

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), today arrested a woman government employee for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 1,400 from a self-help group member at a village in the district.
The accused, Bharti Ganpat Gavali, working as a supervisor in Child Development Project Office at Chandvad, was arrested from her office while accepting a bribe of Rs 1,400 from a member of Jai Ambika Self Help at Vadner Bhairav village in the district, an ACB release said.
This SHG provides food to an anganwadi (nursery schools run in rural/tribal areas) and the complainant was seeking clearance of Rs 31,500 dues that were pending for the past seven months.

"She had approached the supervisor to clear the dues. However, Gavali demanded a bribe of Rs 1,400 for this work, following which the complainant approached the ACB officials in Nashik. The ACB sleuths laid a trap and nabbed Gavali while accepting money this afternoon," the release said.
