(Harshwardhan Sapkal) ACB has taken action in the Ministry's Food and Drug Administration department under Zhirwal. A clerk in the Food and Drug Administration department has been arrested for taking a bribe, and the accused's name is Rajendra Dherange. The clerk initially demanded a bribe of 50,000 rupees to reinstate the suspended license of a medical store. He was later arrested while accepting a bribe of 35,000 rupees.

On the second floor of the Ministry, the bribe accused has been caught. Further investigation into this case has been initiated. The FDA department in the Ministry comes under the jurisdiction of NCP leader and Minister Narhari Zhirwal. This entire incident has caused a stir. In this context, Congress State President Harshwardhan Sapkal has reacted.

Harshvardhan Sapkal said, 'It is shocking to learn that the ACB has set a trap and apprehended a corrupt official in the office of a cabinet minister in the ministry. It has once again become clear that open bribery and commission-taking are ongoing in the ministry during the tenure of the mega-corrupt grand alliance government. A situation has arisen where public work is not done without money, which is a very serious matter. The Chief Minister should take note of the matter, inform the public, and remove the corrupt minister from the position.' This is what Congress State President Harshvardhan Sapkal has said.
