Resident dy collector, his assistant held by ACB in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) sleuths on Monday arrested resident deputy collector Vinod Khirolkar (51) and his revenue assistant Deepak Tribhuvan (40) — both stationed at the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district collectorate — for allegedly demanding and accepting a Rs5 lakh bribe. A subsequent search of Khirolkar's property uncovered over Rs67 lakh in unaccounted cash and valuables. According to ACB superintendent of police Sandip Atole, the complainant and their partner legally purchased 6 acres and 16 gunthas of Class 2 land in Teesgaon in 2023. The duo had previously paid the accused Rs23 lakh to obtain the necessary government challan for the land transaction. Later, the officers allegedly demanded an additional Rs18 lakh to issue the required challan for converting the land from Class 2 to Class 1. The ACB received the complaint on May 23 and verified the allegation on Monday, during which the accused reportedly reiterated their demand. A case under sections 7, 7A, and 12 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, has been registered at the City Chowk police station.
