She offers mangalsutra as bribe.

A mangalsutra is used by women as a symbol of her marriage and a  sacred commitment made during the  ritual. Never is one expected  to pawn it or use it in any other commercial manner.

It was hung there with the purpose of bribing the official.  Collector Krishna Bhaskar however asked officials to investigate the matter and submit a report immediately.
