Gujarat Police Arrest Man in Bribery Case, Seize Rs 49 Lakh

Gujarat police announced the arrest of a man suspected of accepting bribes in a case that came to light during a routine investigation. The suspect was taken into custody by officials of the state’s anti‑corruption wing on Tuesday, though the exact location of the arrest has not been disclosed.

During the operation, investigators recovered approximately Rs 49 lakh in cash, which they say is linked to the alleged illicit payments. The seized amount was seized from the suspect’s possession and will be presented as evidence in the forthcoming inquiry.

A senior police spokesperson confirmed that the case is being pursued under the provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, and that the accused will face interrogation followed by formal charges if sufficient evidence is established. The police have urged the public to report any similar instances of corruption.

The seizure underscores the state’s ongoing efforts to curb bribery and reinforce transparency in public administration, aligning with broader national anti‑corruption initiatives.
