Bhopal, March 27: Efforts to curb corruption in Madhya Pradesh are intensifying. The Lokayukt has initiated actions against those demanding bribes in exchange for government services.
In a recent operation, an assistant sub-inspector from the police department and a revenue inspector were caught accepting bribes. The Lokayukt team from Indore apprehended Assistant Sub-Inspector Ravindra Kumar Guru while he was accepting a bribe of 7,000 rupees in Khasrawad, Khargone district.
According to information from the Indore police superintendent’s office, the complainant, Mangilal Upadhyay, a farmer from Chandavad village in Bhagwanpura tehsil, had reported threats to his life from Rajesh Bagdare, a resident of Khasrawad.
In return for resolving the complaint against Upadhyay at the Khasrawad police station, Assistant Sub-Inspector Guru demanded a bribe of 20,000 rupees. Upadhyay subsequently reported this to Rajesh Sahay, the police superintendent of the Indore Lokayukt.
Upon verification of the complaint, a trap team was formed on Friday. Assistant Sub-Inspector Ravindra Kumar Guru was caught red-handed accepting 7,000 rupees from Shyamlal Upadhyay at the Khasrawad bus stand. Action is being taken against the accused under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act, 2018.
Another similar case emerged from Pohri in Shivpuri district, where a bribe was demanded for correcting a land map. Brakbhan Singh filed a complaint with the Lokayukt police superintendent in Gwalior, stating that he was asked for a bribe of 5,000 rupees, of which he had already paid 1,000.
