I will always remember Dr. Priya Ranjan not only as the Chairman of JK Monitor, but as a mentor, guide and elder brother whose kindness shaped my life and work. Write a tribute at SRINAGAR: J&K Anti Corrupting Bureau received a written complaint to the effect that Executive Engineer Jal Shakti (PHE) Mechanical Division South Awantipora namely Manzoor Ahmad Dar is demanding a bribe of ₹20,000 from him for clearing of Bills on account of Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) works carried out by him at the said PHE Mechanical Division, out of which the complainant has earlier paid an amount of ₹8000 to the suspect and the remaining amount of ₹12000 was to be paid after the clearance of the bills.
The complainant chose not to pay bribe and instead approached Anti Corruption Bureau for taking legal action against the said Executive Engineer as envisaged under law. On receipt of the complaint, a discreet verification was conducted which confirmed the demand by the said Govt. employee and accordingly Case FIR No. 02/2026 u/s 7 of P/C Act 1988 read with amendment Act-2018 was registered in P/S ACB Anantnag and investigation was taken up.
During the course of investigation a trap team was constituted. The team laid a successful trap and caught the said Govt. employee Manzoor Ahmad Dar S/o Ghulam Mohammad Dar R/o Daf Pora Budgam red handed while demanding and accepting bribe. He was arrested on spot and bribe amount was also recovered from his possession in presence of independent witnesses associated with the trap team.
Subsequently, search of residential houses of the accused Govt. employee was carried out in presence of Executive Magistrates and independent witnesses. Further investigation of the instant case is going on.
