Uttarakhand clerk caught accepting Rs 10,000 bribe in land dispute case
Arrested Roorkee tehsil staffer by Vigilance Sleuths ROORKEE: State Vigilance sleuths on Monday caught a head clerk (locally known as Peshkar) of the Additional Tehsildar's Office red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000 from an advocate. The revenue department staffer, identified as Rohit Singh (40), a resident of the Amber Talab locality, was allegedly accepting the bribe in exchange for reopening a land dispute case. According to reports, a practicing advocate had applied for the reopening of a land case pertaining to her sister, which had been decided ex-parte in March. Rohit allegedly demanded Rs 25,000 as a bribe, asking for Rs 10,000 as the first installment. Disturbed by Rohit's corrupt demand, the advocate approached the Vigilance Establishment Uttarakhand (VEU) and lodged a complaint. As per the plan, the complainant visited Rohit's residence on Monday and handed him chemical-coated currency notes worth Rs 10,000. At that moment, vigilance officials in plain clothes caught Rohit red-handed while accepting the bribe. "Our team has arrested him (Rohit). We have booked him under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 (amended in 2018) and will produce him before a designated court in Dehradun on Tuesday," said Mithilesh Kumar Singh, Superintendent of Police, Vigilance Sector, Dehradun, while speaking to TOI. The Dehradun sector of the Vigilance Department has arrested 10 government officials since January, including three in May alone — among them a police sub-inspector.
