The anti‑corruption wing of the Ujjain Lokayukta conducted a raid in Neemuch and apprehended Home Guard District Commander Yuvraj Singh Chauhan. Officials say Chauhan was caught red‑handed while receiving a cash payment of Rs 3,000 each month.
According to the Lokayukta's report, the bribe was demanded in exchange for ensuring the officer’s posting at the Nayagaon Regional Transport Office (RTO) barrier. The monthly payment was allegedly collected as a condition for the assignment.
Chauhan, who heads the Home Guard unit for the district, has been taken into custody pending further investigation. The Lokayukta’s action highlights a broader effort to curb petty corruption within state‑run services in Madhya Pradesh.
Legal proceedings are expected to follow, with the Lokayukta likely to recommend prosecution under the state's anti‑corruption statutes.
