In a first-of-its-kind action, the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) has caught a clerk for demanding sexual favours from a woman. The clerk, who works with the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation, was caught by ACB sleuths when he arrived at the garden he had called the woman to.

The accused, identified as Rameshchandra Laxman Rajput, 48, a Class III clerk, is deputed in the tax department. The complainant is a 30-year-old woman who had approached the tax department after a final notice before seizure of her home was issued by the KDMC's Property Tax department. There, she met Rajput, who told her if she needed more time to pay the tax and reduce the fine amount, she would have to gratify him sexually.
