In a significant crackdown on corruption, Rajasthan's Anti-Corruption Bureau apprehended two high-ranking officials on Friday.

Sub-Divisional Magistrate Devi Singh and Additional Administrative Officer Mukesh Kumar were arrested for allegedly accepting an Rs 80,000 bribe, intended as a reduced payment from an initial demand of Rs 1.5 lakh.
