Udaipur, September 29, 2026: New revelations are emerging during the remand of an SOG Additional Superintendent of Police and an alleged middleman in a Rs 2 crore bribery case linked to the much-discussed alleged scam involving 272 plots of the Udaipur Municipal Corporation.

The SOG officer, who was investigating the 272-plot case, and the alleged middleman are on remand in connection with allegations that money was sought through the middleman to manipulate the investigation, avoid detailed scrutiny of documents and prevent the complainant from being implicated in new cases. During the remand period, both accused are being questioned face-to-face, and information about the action taken so far in the 272-plot case is being examined.

ACB Intelligence Team Examines Seized Documents

The ACB Intelligence team is conducting detailed questioning of the SOG Additional Superintendent of Police and the alleged middleman on the basis of documents seized by the team.

CCTV footage, documents allegedly seized from the complainant without being formally taken on record, and documents related to pending cases are also being examined in detail.

The investigation is being conducted by ACB Intelligence Inspector Dr Sonu Shekhawat. According to the complaint, Niranjan Kumar Mogra, son of Tej Singh and a resident of Shobhagpura, submitted a report on September 23.

Complaint Related to Two Plots

According to the complaint, Mogra’s wife, Hemlata Kankaria, had entered into an agreement in 2015 to purchase Plot No. 669 in Sector 5. However, the deal was cancelled after the plot became disputed. A case relating to Plot No. 669 in Hiran Magri was subsequently registered. The complaint states that an FR was filed on the basis of a High Court order.

Similarly, Mogra said he had purchased Plot No. 115 in Hiran Magri Sector 6 from Mahavir Sharan in 2015. In 2022, the Municipal Corporation suspended the lease deed and mutation of the plot. Following his appeal, the order was set aside by the Director of Local Bodies, Jaipur.

Documents Allegedly Seized During Arrest

According to the complainant, the cases relating to Plots No. 669 and 115 were investigated by SOG Additional Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar Soni. On August 4, 2026, the SOG officer allegedly arrested Hemlata Kankaria from her residence.

The complaint states that, apart from documents from the house, documents relating to four plots, three signed blank cheques, a cheque book, two bags, a gold watch and CCTV DVR were seized. The complainant alleged that the documents and other items were not formally taken on record and were retained by the SOG Additional Superintendent of Police and his reader, Jaswant Rao.

Alleged Demand of Rs 2 Crore

According to the complaint, after Hemlata Kankaria secured bail from the High Court on August 25, an acquaintance, Sajjan Singh Jain alias Tatla, allegedly called and said that the SOG Additional Superintendent of Police was known to him. He allegedly claimed that he could get the matter settled and prevent new cases from being registered.

The complainant alleged that a bribe of Rs 2 crore was demanded. According to the complaint, the demand was also linked to not placing the previously seized documents on record and returning the seized DVR, gold items and cheques.

The complaint states that the alleged bribe was to be taken through Sajjan Jain.

Middleman and SOG Officer Arrested

According to the case details, Sajjan Singh alias Tatla, son of Ganesh Lal Jain and a resident near the Hiran Magri Community Hall, was arrested allegedly while accepting the Rs 2 crore bribe. The amount included Rs 1.96 lakh in dummy currency notes and Rs 4 lakh in genuine currency notes.

During the investigation, the role of SOG Additional Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar Soni, son of Jairam Soni, currently associated with OTC Quarters in Ambamata and originally linked to the Housing Board in Balotra, was found to be significant, according to the case details.

He was also arrested on Sunday and produced before the presiding officer. The court ordered that he remain in police remand until September 30.

Investigation Continues

The investigating team is examining evidence from the mobile phones of both accused and collecting further evidence. Verification of the alleged scene of the incident is also being conducted.

The team is examining CCTV footage related to the demand-verification conversation, documents allegedly seized from the complainant without being formally taken on record, and documents connected with pending cases.

Further questioning of both accused is underway, and the investigation is examining whether their statements and the evidence collected provide additional information related to the alleged 272-plot scam involving the Municipal Corporation.
