Mumbai, 07 June (HS): The Superintendent of CIDCO

Land Records, Sanjipan Prabhakar Sanap, was arrested by the Anti-Corruption

Bureau sleuths while accepting a bribe of Rs 50,000 for conducting a land

survey under the Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area (NAINA) project.

According to the ACB, the complainant’s friend had applied

for demarcation and survey of a piece of land falling within the NAINA project limits.

Sanap demanded a bribe of Rs 2 lakh for the survey. On June 4, a complaint was

lodged with the ACB, as the requisite government challan fees had been deposited.

Following a verification on June 5, a trap was laid on

June 6, and Sanap was caught red-handed while accepting part of the bribe.

A case has been registered against Sanap, and further investigation is in

progress.
