He had claimed a section of people were demanding Rs 3-8 lakh for the posts.

Victor Das was arrested by the Assam police and was booked under sections 120B, 153, 153A, 384 and 505 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

However, the Gauhati high court in Assam has granted Victor Das an interim bail till September 29.
