Mitali Sharma Apprehended on First Day of Appointment Following Bribery Allegations by Koderma Vyapar Mandal Sahyog Samiti Limited Director
In a startling turn of events, Mitali Sharma, the newly appointed Assistant Registrar of the Koderma zone in Jharkhand, was detained by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on her very first day of work. The Hazaribagh ACB team took swift action in response to the serious allegations raised by Rameshwar Prasad Yadav, director of the Koderma Vyapar Mandal Sahyog Samiti Limited.
Yadav, responsible for the distribution of Kharif crop seeds in the region, accused Mitali Sharma of engaging in corrupt practices. It is alleged that after conducting an inspection of the office for undisclosed reasons, Sharma sent Yadav a show-cause notice. To resolve the matter and avoid any departmental action, Sharma demanded a bribe of ₹20,000 from Yadav.
Despite his unwillingness, Yadav was compelled to succumb to Sharma's demands and provide the requested amount. The Anti-Corruption Bureau conducted a thorough investigation into the matter, verifying the authenticity of the bribe demand as reported by Yadav.
Based on the serious allegations made by Yadav, a case has been registered against Mitali Sharma at the ACB's Hazaribagh office. The authorities are now actively pursuing the investigation, aiming to uncover the full extent of the corruption and ensure appropriate legal action is taken.
This incident has once again highlighted the prevalent issue of corruption in the public sector and the urgent need for stringent measures to curb such malpractices. The arrest of an Assistant Registrar on her first day of work has sent shockwaves throughout the administrative and bureaucratic circles, further underscoring the significance of maintaining integrity and ethical conduct in public service.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau remains committed to its duty of upholding justice and eradicating corruption from the system. As investigations progress, it is anticipated that the case will shed light on the broader issue of corruption within government departments and serve as a reminder of the consequences faced by those who engage in such illicit activities.
The authorities are determined to restore public trust by holding individuals accountable for their actions and implementing measures to prevent future incidents of corruption.
