ACB arrests cooperative inspector for 2.75L bribe
Jaipur: Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) Thursday arrested a cooperative inspector for taking a bribe of Rs 2.75 lakh in the city on the promise of facilitating a stay order on two residential plots. In a statement, ACB said the accused, Narayan Verma, posted as inspector at the office of sub-registrar of the City Cooperative Societies at the mini secretariat building, was caught red-handed while accepting the bribe money. ACB officials said Verma demanded Rs 4 lakh—Rs 2 lakh per plot—for securing a stay order on two disputed residential plots at Shrinath Enclave Second, Hargun Ki Nangal in Sanganer tehsil, developed by Harinagar Housing Cooperative Society. Officials said the accused demanded Rs 1 lakh for himself and the remaining amount for the sub-registrar for granting the stay order. "The property in question was embroiled in a dispute. The complainant said that when he approached the accused, he demanded a bribe for himself and his superior for a stay order," said a senior ACB official, adding that the role of the accused's superior is also under the scanner as the stay order can only be issued by a senior official. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Premium 1 BHK at Mahindra Citadel – Coming Soon!
