SRINAGAR, Jul 21 : Jammu and Kashmir Anti Corruption Bureau traps and arrests Mushtaq Ahmad Khatana, Patwari, Patwar Halqa Banimulla, Kulgam for demanding and accepting bribe.
\nJammu and Kashmir Anti Corruption Bureau received a written complaint alleging therein that complainant had submitted an application in tehsil Office Pahloo, Kulgam, requesting therein for obtaining permission for cutting of walnut trees, which are situated in the land of complainant. Tehsil Office Pahloo, Kulgam forwarded his application to concerned Patwari for report. When the complainant approached the Patwari of Patwar Halqa Banimulla, the Patwari demanded \u20b923000 as bribe from the complainant in lieu of providing favourable report.
\nThe complainant chose not to pay bribe and instead approached Anti Corruption Bureau for taking legal action against the Patwari as provided under law. On receipt of the complaint, a discreet verification was conducted which confirmed the demand by the said patwari and accordingly Case FIR No. 02\/2025 u\/s 7 of P\/C Act 1988 was registered in PS ACB Anantnag and investigation was taken up.
\nDuring the course of investigation a trap team was constituted. The team laid a successful trap and caught the patwari Mushtaq Ahmad Khatana S\/o Mohd Ayoub Khatana R\/o Kraloo Kund Kulgam red handed while demanding and accepting bribe. He was arrested on spot by the ACB team. The bribe amount was also recovered from his possession in presence of independent witnesses associated with the trap team.
\nSubsequently, search of residential house of the accused Patwari has been carried out in presence of Executive Magistrates and independent witnesses.
\nFurther investigation of the instant case is going on.<\/p>\n
