Cases of bribery in government departments in Chhattisgarh continue to come to light. According to figures from action taken by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), 193 officers and employees have been caught over the past five years on allegations of taking bribes. Those covered by the action include names ranging from administrative officers to technical employees and clerks.
The list of those caught includes employees working in posts such as SDM, tehsildar, engineer and babu. This reflects the spread of corruption complaints at different levels in government offices and the scope of action taken on them.
In bribery-related cases, complaints generally involve demands for illegal money in return for getting government work done, completing document processes and providing departmental services. However, in these 193 cases, the allegations against each person and the status of action may differ. Being caught does not mean conviction.
The figure of 193 people being arrested or caught over five years underlines the challenge of ensuring transparency and accountability in the government system. These ACB action figures bring out the seriousness of corruption-related cases in the state.
