Operation Bhrast Nirmoolan unearths corrupt practices, irregularities, clandestine deals
Surprise raids carried out by the Vigilance and Anti Corruption Bureau (VACB) at inter-State check-posts manned by the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD) on Friday revealed corrupt practices, irregularities in examining overloaded vehicles and clandestine deals of officers and agents. Code named Operation Bhrast Nirmoolan, the raids were initiated following intelligence reports that MVD officers indulged in bribery for allowing vehicles to pass without any inspection, and imposed a paltry fine for overloaded vehicles. Also, the corruption and laxity on the part of the officials led to accidents as well as denting the State exchequer. VACB Inspector General of Police H. Venkatesh monitored the raids, which began at the check-posts from 6 a.m. VACB Director Sudesh Kumar issued the orders for the raids.More Related News
