The West Bengal government has stepped up its anti-corruption drive by the state’s Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) enforcing its renewed “zero tolerance posture”, and executing a high-profile trap-and-arrest operation at the Block Development Office (BDO) in Jhargram district.
According to officials, the contractor approached the ACB after allegedly being asked to pay the bribe.
Acting on the complaint, a team laid a trap at the BDO office using chemically treated currency notes.
Alongside the organisational overhaul, the ACB has launched a public outreach campaign urging citizens to report demands for bribes or other forms of corruption.
“Today the ED has handed over seven corruption files to the state police and Kolkata police and said that you should investigate it locally.
