The agency alleged that the case dates back to September 9, when the complainant’s office associate was present at the Civil Sessions Court, Court No. 14, for a hearing.

At that time, Vasudev allegedly approached the associate in the court’s washroom and told him to “do something for Saheb (the Judge), and the order will be in your favour”.

Later, Vasudev allegedly contacted the complainant and asked him to meet at a café, where he demanded ₹10 lakh for himself and ₹15 lakh for the judge. The complainant refused.

Following this, the complainant approached the ACB. After verification, the agency laid a trap and arrested Vasudev.
