In Surat, the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested an Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) corporator and is searching for another in connection with a bribery case. The corporators, Jitendra Kachhadiya and Vipul Suhagiya, allegedly demanded Rs10 lakh from a pay and parking contractor to prevent the cancellation of his Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) contract.
During a routine inspection in the Magob area, the AAP corporators discovered that the contractor had encroached upon the adjacent vegetable market. Following this, they reportedly pressured the contractor for the bribe.
