Updated: Oct 27th, 2024


The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) launched a legal action against head sweeper (supervisor) for extorting money from his subordinates’ bonus amount.

Bharat Katakia, a head sweeper working for Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC), demanded ₹1,600 from each of his subordinate permanent sweepers, out of their Diwali bonus.

Katakia told the sweepers that the money was for buying sweets for the officials. He had met one of the sweepers at Khadia’s health department office and told him that he would need ₹1,600 from each of the workers to buy sweets for the officials.

The ACB set up a trap at the Danapith office of the AMC on Saturday to nab Katakia, where he was caught red handed taking an amount of ₹1,600.

ACB has started an investigation in this regard.
