A senior MSEDCL technician, Arun Suresh Gite, was apprehended by the Anti-Corruption Bureau for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹13,000 to replace a faulty electricity meter in Parli Vaijnath, according to the source. The incident took place after a private firm employee's power supply was disconnected and a meter removed, leading the complainant to seek Gite's assistance.
Gite demanded ₹15,000 for the installation of a replacement meter and the restoration of the electricity connection. When the consumer refused to pay the higher amount, they lodged a complaint with the ACB, which led to the arrest of Gite on Sunday afternoon. The ACB set up a trap near a distribution transformer in Parli and caught Gite in the act of accepting the negotiated sum of ₹13,000. The seized cash was handed over to the authorities.
