ACB Arrests Senior Accountant For Bribe in

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Jammu and Kashmir has arrested a senior accountant for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe.

The accused, Mohammad Yaseen Sheikh, was caught red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 15,000 from a complainant.

According to the ACB, a written complaint was received alleging that Sheikh was demanding Rs 20,000 as a bribe for processing a supplementary partnership deed.

A discreet verification was conducted, which confirmed the demand for a bribe. A case was then registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

A trap team was constituted, and Sheikh was caught while demanding and accepting the bribe. He was arrested on the spot, and the bribe money was recovered from his possession.

The ACB has stated that further investigation into the case is ongoing.

The arrest is part of the ACB’s efforts to combat corruption in the region.
