| Court rejects bail of NT, pre-arrest bail of Patwari | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, July 8: Special Judge anti-corruption Jammu Ritesh Dubey has rejected the bail application of Naib Tehsildar Ashok Kumar and pre-arrest bail application of Ravinder Kumar then Patwari Akhnoor (now Girdawar) in corruption case.
Anti-corruption Bureau (ACB) has said that one Mukesh Gupta lodged a complaint that his wife had applied for issuance of Fard in respect of land measuring 1 Kanal 19 Marlas under Khasra number 440/299, before the Patwari Ravinder Bhagat. Thereafter, the Patwari and Naib Tehsildar Ashok Sharma approached the complainant through their tout Raman Gupta, and asked for a bribe of Rs. 30 lacs for the issuance of Fard.
Both of them also contacted the complainant personally, and the amount was settled at Rs 15 lacs. Both Patwari and Naib Tehsildar were later on transferred out of that place. But the amount of Rs. 15 lacs was still being demanded by Naib Tehsildar. Fard was prepared as the complainant received a soft copy through Whatsapp from Chiku Gupta, intending buyer, which was sent to him by the tout. Original fard was stated to have been retained by Naib Tehsildar which was not being provided to the complainant as the Naib Tehsildar was demanding a bribe of Rs. 15 lacs.
The Naib Tehsildar told the complainant to pay the bribe amount in parts, but he would provide the fard only after receiving the full amount. The complainant was told to bring at least Rs 15 lacs. On the verification by ACB, the allegations of demand of bribe were found correct and FIR 6/2022 was registered and a trap team was constituted and laid a trap and caught red-handed the Naib Tehsildar.
Special Judge Anti Corruption Jammu while rejecting the bail applications, observed that in the present case, the investigation is still incomplete, and the accusations especially in view of the alleged conduct of accused whereby such a huge amount was demanded for issuance of a simple fard, also are serious. |
