Bhilwara:
A village official was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly seeking sexual favours and Rs 1,000 as bribe from a woman here, the anti-corruption bureau (ACB) said.
Pooran Singh, posted as Gram Sewak at Sadaramji Ka Kheda, demanded cash and sexual favour from the woman for releasing the final instalment of the total amount of Rs 45,000 allotted to her for housing under the Indira Gandhi Awas Yojna, anti-graft officials said.
The woman also claimed that earlier he took Rs 2,000 and also indulged in sexual activities with her for releasing two instalments.
Singh was again making similar demands to release the final instalment, following which the woman went to the ACB office on Tuesday to register a complaint, they said.
After verification of the complaint, a trap was laid to nab him, the officials said.
"Tonight, Pooran reached the house of the complainant and received Rs 1,000 bribe and asked her to come inside a room with him, but in the meantime an ACB team caught him.
"We have recovered the amount and he has been placed under arrest. Another woman has levelled the same allegations against him," an official said.
