Farmer Gurjar in his complaint to the special establishment of Madhya Pradesh said that Dhruve had demanded Rs 20,000 bribe from him, out of which he had already given Rs 11,000. Even after paying more than half of his demand, Dhurve is not ready to do demarcation of his land. He asked Gurjar to pay the remaining amount of Rs 9,000, only after which he will do the work.

Upset with this, Gurjar decided to take the matter to Lokayukta. Gurjar on June 1 lodged his complaint to the Ujjain Lokayukta SP Anil Vishwakarma and sought help.

Basant said that Gurjar had applied for 9 bighas of land demarcation in a public service centre where he had demanded a bribe. Regarding this, the complaint's verification was done on June 1. On June 2, RI's voice was recorded in which he was demanding a bribe. A case has been registered under section-7 of the anti-corruption act.
