Bribe of Over ₹3 Lakh Offered to Prevent Demolition of Unapproved Structure

The complainant had already paid a preliminary sum of 10,000 rupees before the ACB’s operation. When he refused to hand over the remaining 3.15 lakh, he reported the matter to the bureau. The sting operation recovered the entire amount on the spot, and both Shilpa and Vijay Ahir were taken into custody. The incident highlights ongoing challenges in curbing illegal construction in the city.
