BJP Leader’s Uncle Busted in ACB Bribery Trap
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) made a significant arrest on Friday, August 1, 2025, detaining a revenue official for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000.
The official, identified as the uncle of a prominent Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader, was apprehended following a meticulously planned operation.
A complaint had been filed alleging the official demanded the bribe to expedite a land transfer mutation.
The ACB laid a trap, using marked currency notes to confirm the bribery. The official was caught red-handed.
A case under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered against the accused. Investigations are underway.
This incident underscores the ongoing challenge of corruption within government machinery and raises serious questions about accountability, particularly concerning the family members of influential politicians. The ACB’s swift action, however, offers a glimmer of hope in the fight against this pervasive issue.
