error: Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

My web scraping code shown here gives the following error:

Error -3 while decompressing data: incorrect header check

Why, and how can I fix it?

import urllib.request
import zipfile
import pandas as pd
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import os
head = {'Accept-Encoding': 'gzip'}
BHAVCOPY_URL = "https://www.bseindia.com/markets/MarketInfo/BhavCopy.aspx"
html = requests.get(BHAVCOPY_URL, headers=head)
