PUNE: A
tehsildar (revenue officer) posted in Pune district was caught red-handed by
the Anti-Corruption Bureau officials Saturday while allegedly accepting a bribe
of Rs one crore.
Sachin Dongare (43), the accued, had sought the bribe to
facilitate registration of new names in land records, an ACB official said. The
complainant in the case wanted to register his heir's name in the records of
his ancestral properties. The matter was sent to Dongare who is the tehsildar
of Mulshi in Pune district, the ACB official said.
Dongare allegedly demanded bribe to give a favourable report

extract. After the complainant approached the ACB, a trap was laid. Dongare was
arrested while accepting a bag containing Rs 15 lakh in bank notes and pieces
of blank paper below them, the official said, adding that further probe was on.
