ACB arrests ex-land official in Rs 30 lakh bribery case
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Jaipur has arrested a former land record official named Narendra Meena.
He was wanted for several months in connection with a bribery case involving Rs 30 lakh.
The ACB set up a trap operation and caught a middleman, Vikas Sharma, accepting the bribe, but Meena fled.
Despite notices to appear before investigators, Meena remained absconding until his recent arrest.
The ACB has established offenses against Meena under the Prevention of Corruption Act and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
In a separate case, the ACB also arrested another individual, Jayaprakash, who was absconding in a fake medical pensioners’ diary case.
