Reacting to the complaint, ACB officials laid a trap and told the journalist to agree to pay the ward boys the amount they had demanded. The sleuths then arrested Narvekar while he was accepting money from the complainant. ACB officials said that soon after Narvekar accepted the bribe, he handed over Rs 1,500 to Shirke. u00a0
