Discreet probes also reveal that both these officials used to take bribes from complainants through m-pay as well as cash on earlier occasions also & were demanding more bribes for the final bill & labour demand. As the complainant was not interested in paying the bribe to these officials he accordingly approached ACB through helpline number & with written complaint subsequently. Under these circumstances the complainant approached ACB and requested for legal action against both these officials JE as well as GRS for demanding a bribe from him.”

“Accordingly on the basis of the findings & recommendation of the Verifying Officer dated 14.03.2024, prima facie offence U/S 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 (as amended in 2018) & section 120-B IPC were made out against accused Public servants namely Arshid Ayoub Marazi, JE & GR Suboor Mir both officials of Rural Development Department Kralgund Handwara for demanding & accepting bribe from complainant for processing/preparing his Bill & putting demand for remaining labour payments case FIR No 02-2024 U/S 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 (as amended in 2018) & section 120-B IPC was registered at PS ACB Baramulla & investigations were initiated,” the handout reads.

“During the course of investigation a trap team was constituted which laid a successful trap and caught the accused JE red handed while demanding and accepting bribes of ₹5000 from the complainant. The bribe money was later recovered from possession of the accused as well as one shopkeeper to whom he has given the money in the presence of independent witnesses.
