Guwahati, August 06, 2024: In a significant move to curb corruption, a team from the Directorate of Vigilance & Anti-Corruption, Assam, today apprehended Dhruba Charan Nath, a government driver, and Rahi Ram Mandal, a Lot Mandal, on charges of bribery. The arrests took place at the canteen of the Kalaigaon Revenue Circle office in Udalguri district.
Nath was caught red-handed while accepting a bribe on behalf of Mandal, who had demanded the illicit payment for land-related work.

Nath accepted the bribe in a conspiratorial act with Mandal, who orchestrated the corrupt transaction.
This operation underscores the Directorate’s commitment to rooting out corruption within government offices, ensuring accountability, and maintaining public trust. Further investigations are underway to uncover any additional details related to this case.
