In Dadhiyal, Rampur, the CBI anti-corruption team from Ghaziabad conducted a raid at the Uttar Pradesh Gramin Bank (Prathama Bank) on Thursday. During the operation, the team arrested a man found carrying Rs 19,000 in cash. The arrested person admitted that he is a broker who helps people with loans and other banking work and that he had accepted this money as a bribe.
Complaint Filed by Ashok Kumar After Wife’s Death
The case began when Ashok Kumar, also known as Pappu, who lives in Narayanpur village, filed a complaint with the CBI’s anti-corruption branch in Ghaziabad. Ashok told the officials that after his wife died in a road accident, he had been visiting the bank for nine months to withdraw money from a government scheme credited to his bank account.
According to Ashok’s complaint, a broker named Rehmat Ali, who works at the bank and helps get loan files approved, asked for a bribe of Rs 20,000 to complete the necessary work. Ashok said he gave the full amount to Rehmat. Later, Rehmat returned Rs 1,000 to Ashok but kept Rs 19,000 with himself as a bribe.
Sources reveal that the role of an assistant manager of the bank is also being investigated in connection with this bribery case. The CBI is looking into how deeply the bank staff might be involved.
