Alwar (Rajasthan) March 18, 2026: A major and strict action against corruption has been taken in Rajasthan's Alwar district. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) team arrested a tehsildar-level officer in the Govindgarh area after catching him red-handed while accepting a bribe. This action has caused a stir in the administrative department.
What is the whole matter?
According to reports, Govindgarh Tehsildar Basant Parsoya is accused of demanding a bribe from the complainant in exchange for handling a land-related case. This case is said to be related to the processing of a land file, name transfer, or other revenue procedures.
When the complainant, fed up with the repeated demands for money, contacted the ACB, the entire matter came to light.
Action initiated after complaint
After receiving the complaint, ACB officials first verified the entire matter. When it became clear that a bribe was being demanded, the team planned a trap operation.
The complainant was sent to the accused officer with the agreed amount and the ACB team kept an eye on the entire process.
Arrested after taking Rs 1.5 lakh
As soon as the Tehsildar accepted a bribe of ₹150,000 from the complainant, the ACB team acted swiftly and apprehended him on the spot. The team also recovered the entire bribe amount from the accused.
Successful operation led by DSP
The entire operation was led by ACB DSP Shabbir Khan. His team executed the operation with meticulous planning and vigilance, leading to the arrest of the accused red-handed.
Following the arrest, the ACB team is also investigating the accused tehsildar's government office and other possible locations. Documents are being examined to determine if there are any other similar cases.
Big revelations may happen during the investigation
The ACB is now conducting extensive interrogation of the accused. Officials believe that this case may yield many more important revelations, such as:
Has such a bribe been taken before?
Are other officers or employees also involved in this?
In how many land related cases have irregularities occurred?
Strong message against corruption
This action is being seen as a strong message against corruption in the state. The ACB is constantly monitoring such cases and taking immediate action upon receiving complaints.
The arrested tehsildar will be produced in court, where he will be remanded for further questioning. The ACB is conducting a thorough investigation into the matter to get to the root of the corruption.
This action in Alwar demonstrates that the ACB is fully committed to bringing transparency to the administration. This is a welcome relief for the public and a clear warning to corrupt officials.
