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 JAMMU: The Jammu & Kashmir Anti-Corruption Bureau has trapped and arrested Head Constable Mahroof Ahmed, posted at Police Station Mahore, District Reasi, for demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹8,000/-.
The complainant alleged that after being detained in a case, he was granted interim bail by the Hon’ble Court on 25.09.2025 with the condition to report daily at PS Mahore between 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. However, during this period, HC Mahroof Ahmed harassed the complainant, kept him at the police station beyond the prescribed time, and demanded a bribe of ₹8,000/- for permitting timely release. The bribe was paid on 01.10.2025 inside the police station premises.
After two days, the accused again threatened the complainant and his associate, demanding an additional bribe of ₹12,000/- for the release of their tractor and for allowing their timely release during prescribed hours. He further threatened to book them under PSA (Public Safety Act) if they failed to pay. The amount was later negotiated to ₹8,000/-.
Unwilling to pay further, the complainant approached ACB. After verification, FIR No. 02/2025 U/S 7 of PC Act 1988 (as amended in 2018) was registered at ACB Udhampur. A trap team headed by a Gazetted Officer successfully caught the accused red-handed while demanding and accepting ₹8,000/- in the presence of independent witnesses.
Further investigation is in progress.
