A Revenue Inspector stationed at the Bagdah Block Land and Land Reforms Office (B.L. & L.R.O.) in North 24 Parganas was taken into custody on Wednesday following a targeted sting operation by the West Bengal Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB).
The operation was initiated after a local resident lodged a formal complaint alleging that the official had demanded illegal gratification to clear a pending land conversion request.
Acting on the tip-off, ACB officers set a trap at the Bagdah office, catching the bureaucrat red-handed as he accepted ₹25,000 in cash from the applicant.
Anti-corruption officials confirmed the arrest and stated that formal legal proceedings under relevant statutory provisions are currently underway. @WBPolice@SuvenduWB@MaghariaAkash #corruption #bribe #police #caught #westbengal #breakingnews
