Victim farmer Rafi accused mining officer Rahul Singh that he demanded a bribe of three lakh rupees and said that the approval letter would be issued if the money was given to Shahrukh, a clerk in his office. The farmer, upset, lodged a complaint with the anti corruption department. The anti-corruption team finalized the plan and informed the farmer.
