2 officials of Cidco held for taking bribe

Navi Mumbai: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested two officials of the
City Industrial and Development Corporation of Maharashtra Limited (Cidco)
on Thursday for demanding a bribe of Rs 75,000 from a developer to clear his
property related files.

    The accused have been identified as M D Sonawane and P R Patil from the
Land Section of Cidco. They were trapped red-handed accepting the bribe
amount inside the Cidco head-office in Belapur.

    While Sonawane, a land surveyor, had demanded Rs 50,000 from J K
Constructions for demarcating its plot and clearing the map, office
assistant Patil demanded an additional Rs 25,000 for moving the letter of
clearance and agreement.

    The Kharghar-based developer then contacted the ACB (Thane) to trap
them. TNN
