Police have registered a case against a woman sarpanch for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 10,000 from a house owner in Maharashtra’s Thane district, officials said on Thursday.
The person had purchased a house and wanted it to be registered with the Vangni gram panchayat for the levy of property tax, the Anti-Corruption Bureau said in a release.
The sarpanch initially demanded Rs 20,000 for the same, but later reduced the amount to Rs 10,000, it said.
The house owner approached the ACB, which filed a complaint with police.
Based on the complaint, the Kulgaon police on Wednesday registered an FIR against the sarpanch under provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, the ACB said.
