ACB Deputy Superintendent of Police Nitin Deshmukh said that one of the arrested officials, Chabulal Mhatarji Abhang, was the chief of the Anti-Encroachment department of the Aurangabad Municipal Corporation.

"Abhang and his subordinate, Sachin Dube, had seized equipment belonging to a person during an anti-encroachment drive. They demanded a bribe of Rs 75,000 from the man for returning the equipment," Deshmukh said.

The man approached the ACB following which a trap was laid Friday evening in which the two were caught while taking Rs 50,000 from the complainant, Deshmukh said.
