The incident took place on Monday, when patwari Gajendra Singh, received Rs 5,000 as bribe in his private office as part of a trap, SPE Superintendent of Police Sanjay Sahu said, as per PTI.
Notably, the action on the official came after he demanded money from a man from Barkheda village for solving a property dispute.
