"After the jeweller approached the ACB, a trap was laid and Bhosale accepted Rs 35,000 on Friday evening. However, sensing something amiss, he fled with the money and came back after changing the currency notes," he said.

Bhosale was called back to the spot by his aide API Avinash Pawar, who too has been detained in connection with the trap, the official informed. A case under Prevention of Corruption Act provisions and section 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offence) of IPC was registered against the two policemen, he added.
