Anti-Corruption Bureau Registers Disproportionate Assets Case Against Former Naib Tehsildar

The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has registered a case against Ashok Kumar, formerly Naib Tehsildar of Gharota, Jammu, under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

The case was registered after a verification revealed that Kumar had acquired assets disproportionate to his known source of income.

In 2022, Kumar was arrested by the ACB for demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹1.5 lakh for issuing a fard document.

During the investigation, a verification was conducted, which revealed that Kumar had accumulated significant moveable and immoveable properties in his and his family members’ names.

These assets include a palatial house worth crores, luxury vehicles, and large bank account balances.

The verification also found that Kumar had spent huge sums on his daughter’s marriage and maintained a luxurious lifestyle.

The expenditure and value of assets acquired by Kumar were found to be disproportionate to his income from all known sources.

Further investigation into the case is ongoing.
