Advocate in ACB net for bribe demand
MUMBAI: The anti-corruption bureau (ACB) has registered an FIR against a public prosecutor, Manikarao Adhav, who had demanded bribe from a controversial businessman to help him in a case last year.
It is alleged that the businessman, who deals in construction, was formerly associated with gangster Chhota Rajan and also involved in various sensational cases. The businessman had allegedly paid Rs 17,000 to Adhav, who promised to help him get a discharge in the case. However, the businessman recorded the entire transaction on camera and later provided the footage to the ACB, following which they registered the complaint against Adhav.
The businessman, who was booked in 1995 for forgery and theft, had filed a discharge application in court in 2005 stating that he had no role in the case. Adhav, who was representing the police in the case, allegedly threatened the businessman that he would `reopen' the case anytime if he did not pay him.
