Beed police have arrested a village revenue official, Vilas Rajendra Morale, for allegedly accepting a ₹70,000 bribe to help with illegal sand transportation. Morale, who works in Khamgaon Sajja under the Georai tehsil, was apprehended by the Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar unit of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB). The ACB claims Morale demanded the bribe in exchange for allowing illegal sand transportation.
The operation was carried out after a complaint was lodged, and the ACB verified the bribe demand before apprehending Morale. The incident has sparked outrage following the recent death of a 9-year-old girl in Junnar, with NCP MLA Shankar Mandekar's remarks about accidents resulting from roads drawing criticism. The case is being investigated against the backdrop of growing concerns over illegal sand extraction and transportation in Beed district.
