She said the complainant, who regularly carried out work related to housing societies, had submitted an application at the tehsil office for the transfer of a land parcel to a society’s name.
“Despite the submission of necessary documents, the work was kept pending, and the accused official demanded a bribe to clear the application,” the official said.
A case was registered against the accused under the Prevention of Corruption Act on Monday, she said, adding that although the bribe was demanded, the accused had not accepted any money.
No arrest has been made so far in connection with the case. PTI COR ARU
