Caught On Cam: MP Revenue Staffer Swallows Bribe Money On Spotting Lokayukta Officials

A patwari of the revenue department in Katni in Madhya Pradesh on Monday allegedly swallowed money he had taken as a bribe after spotting a team of the Lokayukta's Special Police Establishment (SPE), an official said.

The incident occurred when patwari Gajendra Singh received Rs 5000 as a bribe in his private office as part of a trap, SPE Superintendent of Police Sanjay Sahu said.

"A man from Barkheda village had complained to us claiming Singh was seeking a bribe. After he received the money, the patwari spotted the SPE team and swallowed the money. He was rushed to a hospital where doctors said he was fine," the official said.

A case has been registered against him and further probe was underway, the SP said.
