Patwari clerk arrested taking Rs80,000 bribe in Sargodha
The arrest was made during an Anti-Corruption Establishment operation, UrduPoint reported.
Anti-Corruption Establishment officials in Sargodha arrested a patwari's clerk while he was allegedly accepting an Rs80,000 bribe, UrduPoint reported on September 22. The outlet carried the report only as a headline, and the full text was not retrievable at the time of filing.
No further details of the operation (including the name of the arrested clerk, the complainant, the revenue office concerned or the nature of the work for which the bribe was demanded) were immediately available. Skardu Times could not independently verify the report.
Anti-corruption teams in Punjab routinely carry out sting operations against land revenue officials, including patwaris and their assistants, who are accused of demanding bribes for mutation, registry and other land records. The Anti-Corruption Establishment in Sargodha falls under the Punjab government.
A statement from the Anti-Corruption Establishment or a named official was not part of the UrduPoint report.
