A bribe-taking revenue official was caught in Kishanganj during a planned vigilance operation. The team trapped him while he was taking a bribe for land development work. This bribe-taking revenue official had demanded ₹2.7 lakh, and he accepted ₹2.5 lakh during the operation.
The arrested officer is Rajdeep Paswan from the Kishanganj Municipal Council. The trap was set near Abhishek Hotel on Tuesday morning. The case began after Owais Ansari, a resident of Khagda Ward No. 22, complained to the Vigilance Investigation Bureau on November 30. He reported that a bribe was demanded for the development of his land.
The vigilance team verified the complaint and then registered a case under Vigilance Police Station Case No. 103/25. The operation was led by Vigilance DSP Vinod Kumar Pandey, who came from Patna to carry out the action.
