During the call, the officials openly discussed how much money had to be paid and to whom, revealing the entire bribery network in front of the Mayor.

According to Pankaj Rathore, several officers - including Revenue Department officer Ashok Bharti and officials responsible for construction permissions in the Municipal Corporation - asked him for bribes. He said that when he called one of the officers in front of the Mayor, the officer clearly explained the payment details and how the money would be distributed.

Another resident, Suraj Kumar, also filed a complaint alleging that several Municipal Corporation and Collectorate employees demanded bribes for building approval.

RI Ashok Bharti demanded ₹10,000
