  "summary": "The Pune Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested two individuals, Aba Sawala Walkunde and Mahadev Pandhari Mane, for accepting a ₹5.5 lakh bribe on behalf of a police constable. The arrest came after the ACB verified multiple bribery demands linked to a case registered at Akluj Police Station. The two suspects were caught accepting the money under a bridge on the Malshiras-Piliv Road near Jankar Plot in Malshiras. The bribe was allegedly demanded to prevent the complainant’s parents from being arrested and to have them served a notice under Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS).",
