Officials arrested in bribery-linked cases
Two government officials in different states were caught doing bad things.
One engineer in Maharashtra took a bribe to give money to someone whose land was taken by the government.
The other official in Gujarat, along with a revenue officer, was involved in taking bribes for changing land use.
Both cases are being investigated, and the officials will be punished for their actions.
The government is trying to stop corruption and make sure people follow the rules.
Rohit Pralhad Deshmukh, an executive engineer, was caught taking a Rs 7 lakh bribe to process land acquisition compensation.
The complainant had already paid Rs 4 lakh and was harassed for the remaining amount.
The compensation of Rs 1.88 crore was credited to the complainant in July last year.
IAS officer Rajendrakumar Patel and deputy mamlatdar Chandrasingh Mori were arrested in a bribery-linked money laundering case.
Mori allegedly misused his position and collected bribes for speedy approval of land use applications.
