A Jabalpur Lokayukta team apprehended a Katni municipal clerk in an alleged bribery trap on October 23, according to Hale Hulchal and Janta Se Rishta. The reports identify the official as Alok Garg of the municipal property branch.
The complainant reportedly needed a municipal no-objection certificate for a bank loan related to construction on an allotted plot. He alleged a demand for 25,000 rupees. Reports said the team intervened during an alleged payment of 20,000 rupees.
The reports described complaint verification followed by action under anti-corruption legislation. A trap and arrest do not establish guilt: the demand, receipt and other evidence remain subject to investigation and court scrutiny. This is an October 23 case, not a newly claimed operation today.
