The state Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) conducted a trap on Tuesday evening and arrested an accountant posted in the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA). The accountant had demanded a bribe of five thousand rupees to help in an official work for which complaint was registered and the man was trapped. Interestingly, after being arrested the accountant even acted as if he had become unconscious which sent the ACXB sleuths in a tizzy, however, the man soon recovered and the bureau sleuths carried on with their work.

The arrested man has been identified as Girdhari Lal, accountant of Zone ten of JDA. Recently one Indraraj Meena approached the bureau and registered a complaint against Girdhari Lal. “In the complaint, the complainant said that he had purchased a shop in Automobile Nagar and to get its lease deed, he had moved a file in the Zone ten of JDA. He met Girdhari Lal for the work where the accountant demanded a bribe of five thousand rupees to decrease the lease estimate amount for the shop,” said Sachin Mittal, Inspector General, ACB.

After the complaint was registered, a bid to verify the same was initiated. “The complaint was verified and a trap was laid to nab the man red-handed. On Tuesday evening Girdhari Lal called the man to meet and hand over the bribe money. Meena reached the designated spot and handed over the said amount. The bureau sleuths were already waiting for a signal from the complainant and as the money exchanged hands, the man signaled to bureau sleuths and the team raided the spot.
