Punjab Naib Tehsildar Arrested for Disproportionate Assets
Imagine a government worker, a Naib Tehsildar, who was supposed to make a certain amount of money.
The Punjab Vigilance Bureau checked his money and found that he had much more wealth than he should have, based on his salary.
They looked at his money from 2009 to 2018 and discovered he had spent way more money than he earned.
This worker is accused of taking money dishonestly, like having a lot of toys when he could only afford a few.
The police arrested him because he had more money than he was supposed to.
Now, the police are making sure this doesn't happen again.
