The accused, Rahul Agrawal, was arrested from the collectorate premises while allegedly accepting the bribe from a woman whose village is affected by the Ken-Betwa Link Project.
According to officials, the complainant, 43-year-old Shagunti Bai Saur from Neguwan village in the Kishangarh area, was supposed to receive around ₹12.50 lakh as compensation under the displacement package of the project.
The woman alleged that Patwari Rahul Agrawal demanded ₹1.50 lakh to release the compensation amount. She claimed that the accused repeatedly pressured her for money and even threatened that the compensation amount would be cancelled if she did not pay.
Due to fear, the woman said she had already given ₹40,000 to the patwari earlier. However, the demand continued. Troubled by the pressure, she later filed a complaint with the Lokayukta police.
