Srinagar, Jul 1 (GNS): Anti Corruption Bureau on Friday said to have arrested a revenue department official for demanding and accepting bribe in lieu for issuance of a ‘Fard’ document. The Bureau also said to have seized an amount in tune of rupees 9 lac from a tout in Akhnoor, Jammu.

“Anti Corruption Bureau received a complaint against Ashok Sharma, Naib Tehsildar and his associates for demanding a bribe of rupees 25 lakh for issuing fard. In his complaint, the complainant alleged that he had applied for issuance of fard in respect of land in the name of his wife measuring 1 kanal 19 marlas under khasra No. 440/299 situated at Mawa Karora, Sungal Morh, Akhnoor before then patwari Halqa Akhnoor Khas namely Ravinder Bhagat. It was alleged that after filing the application, the patwari Ravinder Bhagat and Naib Tehsildar, Ashok Sharma who were at that time posted in the area, approached the complainant through their tout Raman Gupta and asked for a bribe of rupees 30 lakh for the issuance of the fard”, the Bureau spokesperson said in a statement issued to GNS.

“Both of them contacted the complainant and on negotiation the amount was settled at rupees 25 lakh. Thereafter, both Patwari and the Naib Tehsildar were transferred out of that place, but the amount of rupees 25 lakh was still being demanded by Naib Tehsildar Ashok Sharma from the complainant. It was also alleged that the fard was prepared as the complainant had received the soft copy through whatsapp from one Sh. Chiku Gupta, who was the buyer of his land, as the said soft copy of the fard was sent to Chiku Gupta by the tout Raman Gupta. The original copy of fard, which was stated to be retained by the Naib Tehsildar Ashok Sharma was not being provided to the complainant as the Naib Tehsildar Ashok Sharma was demanding the bribe money of rupees 25 lakhs”, reads the statement.
