ACB Action in Udaipur: Patwari Caught Red-Handed Taking ₹10,000 Bribe, Deal Was Finalised for ₹12,000
Udaipur, 24 July – In a major crackdown on corruption, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in Udaipur has caught a patwari red-handed while accepting a bribe. The trap was executed by the intelligence unit of ACB, which arrested the accused and has initiated legal proceedings.
Patwari Demanded Bribe for Land Partition Work
According to officials, Rajesh Meena, a patwari posted in Vallabhnagar Tehsil, was caught while accepting a bribe of ₹10,000. The total bribe amount was allegedly negotiated at ₹12,000 for a land partition task.
Bribe Complaint Filed by Land Buyer
On 14 July 2025, complainant Rameshchandra Dangi lodged a report with the ACB. He stated that he had purchased around 5 bighas of land from Prabhulal Meghwal in February 2025, which was registered under his friend Bharat Meghwal’s name. The land was recorded under a “Shamilat” (joint ownership) account.
To get the land partitioned, Rameshchandra approached Patwari Rajesh Meena and submitted an application for the necessary official process. However, Meena allegedly demanded a bribe of ₹15,000 and refused to process the work without payment. After negotiation, the deal was finalised at ₹12,000.
ACB Trap Executed After Verification
Following the complaint, ACB conducted a verification and found that Meena had already accepted ₹2,000 as partial payment. On 24 July, the ACB intelligence unit set a trap and successfully caught Rajesh Meena red-handed while accepting the remaining ₹10,000.
