Chandigarh, October 16
The Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) intensified its anti-corruption campaign by arresting Deepak Kumar, a deed writer at the Pathankot tehsil complex, red-handed while accepting a ₹30,000 bribe.
A VB spokesperson revealed that the arrest followed a complaint from a resident of Bungol village, Pathankot district. The complainant alleged that after purchasing land and paying the required registration fee to Deepak Kumar, the deed writer completed the registration but demanded ₹30,000 to ensure the Tehsildar signed the original documents.
