CIDCO officer, aide arrested in Navi Mumbai over Rs 2 lakh bribery case

Earlier in January, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested a senior official of the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) and his associate for allegedly accepting a Rs 2 lakh bribe from a contractor in Navi Mumbai, officials said on Thursday, reported news agency PTI.

The accused officer, aged 57, was working as an assistant estate officer with CIDCO. His associate was allegedly used as a middleman to collect the bribe, the Anti-Corruption Bureau said.

According to the ACB, the complainant is a contractor who deals with society registrations and property transfers. He had applied online for the transfer of a flat in Sanpada, Navi Mumbai, on June 11, 2025, and had submitted all required documents, including a valid power of attorney. However, the application was allegedly kept pending without any explanation, PTI reported.

The contractor later approached the ACB on January 22, 2026, claiming that the CIDCO official had demanded Rs 4 lakh to clear the flat transfer. During verification, investigators found that the demand had subsequently been reduced to Rs 2 lakh, to be accepted through an associate.

Acting on the complaint, the ACB set a trap on Wednesday and caught the associate red-handed while accepting the bribe at a hotel near Nerul railway station. The CIDCO official was later taken into custody, PTI reported.

Both accused have been arrested and booked under the relevant provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, officials added.
