The Rajasthan Anti‑Corruption Bureau (ACB) conducted a raid in Banswara district on Monday, detaining Grade‑I court clerk Sandeep Kumar Nanavati and his home‑guard driver Rahul Chandel for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 40,000. The officials were reportedly caught with the cash while attempting to influence a pending court matter. Both were taken into custody at the Banswara police station and will be presented before the district court for further investigation. The ACB said the operation forms part of a broader crackdown on corruption within the state’s judicial system, and the accused face charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
