SRINAGAR: The Anti-Corruption Bureau, Jammu, registered a case, FIR No. 02/2026 U/S 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, against a public servant, namely, Mohinder Lal, Assistant Sub Inspector, posted in P/S Khour, for demanding and accepting illegal gratification from the complainant.
The said accused public servant demanded the bribe amounting to Rs 5,000/- from the complainant for taking action against the husband of his cousin sister, who is being regularly harassed and assaulted by her husband. Since the complainant didn’t want to pay a bribe, they approached the Anti-Corruption Bureau for taking legal action against the accused public servant under law.
On receipt of the complaint, a discreet verification was conducted, which corroborated the demand of a bribe by the public servant concerned, and accordingly, a case FIR No. 02/2026 U/S 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, was registered in Police Station ACB Jammu, and an investigation was taken up.
During the course of the investigation, a trap team was constituted. The team laid a successful trap, and the accused public servant was caught red-handed while demanding and accepting a bribe amount from the complainant in the presence of independent witnesses. The accused was arrested on the spot by the ACB team after following due process of law. The bribe money was also recovered from his possession in the presence of independent witnesses associated with the trap team. Moreover, a search was also conducted in his official residence situated at the premises of P/S Khour in the presence of a magistrate.
Further investigation of the instant case is going on.
