Overview

• ACB lodged an FIR under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act after verifying a complaint that Patwari Mohd. Jameel solicited a Rs 5,000 bribe for attested land records in Village Dhara
• On June 13, a trap team caught Jameel red-handed in Halqa Dhara, tehsil Mandi, and he was immediately arrested before investigators searched his Poonch residence
• The following day, ACB operatives set up a sting on Head Constable Roshan Din of Kathua police for demanding Rs 25,000—later negotiated to Rs 15,000—to delete a complainant’s name from a case
• Din sensed the ACB presence, accepted the Rs 15,000 payment and fled the scene, discarding the tainted notes into bushes along the NHW near Palli
• Investigators recovered the bribe money and continue probing both cases, with Din still at large as the bureau expands its crackdown
