Jaipur, March 9 (Daily Udaipur) — The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested two government officials in Banswara for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹10,000. The accused were caught red-handed during a trap operation carried out by the ACB Banswara unit.
According to officials, the arrested persons have been identified as Milan Bhatt, Assistant Administrative Officer at the Treasury Office Banswara, and Kachru Katara, Senior Assistant at the Tehsil Office Banswara.
The action was taken following a complaint received by the ACB Banswara unit. The complainant had submitted an online application through an e-Mitra centre for issuing caste and domicile certificates for an applicant. During the process, Senior Assistant Kachru Katara allegedly claimed that the application carried forged signatures of a Patwari and threatened to lodge a police complaint against the complainant.
The accused allegedly demanded a bribe from the complainant to avoid legal action. The demand for the bribe was verified by the ACB on February 26 and February 27, 2026, during which Katara was found seeking ₹10,000.
Following verification, a trap was organised under the supervision of ACB Deputy Inspector General Dr. Rameshwar Singh and led by Additional Superintendent of Police Rishikesh Meena of the ACB Banswara unit.
During the trap operation, Kachru Katara accepted the ₹10,000 bribe from the complainant and handed it over to Milan Bhatt, who allegedly kept the amount with him. The ACB team then recovered the bribe money and caught both accused red-handed.
Officials said that questioning of the accused is ongoing. Searches are also being conducted at the residences of Kachru Katara and Milan Bhatt.
The ACB has registered a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act and further investigation in the matter is underway.
