A Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officer is accused of seeking a bribe to process the pension of a former staff member, according to Amar Ujala.
A report in Amar Ujala claims that an officer of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) asked for a bribe in exchange for processing the pension of a former employee. The allegation, which surfaced in a recent news item, suggests that the official leveraged his position to extract money before approving the pension claim.
Under normal procedures, pension benefits for former MCD employees are administered through a standard verification process that does not involve any personal payment. The alleged demand, if true, would constitute a breach of the corporation's rules and Indian anti‑corruption laws.
Delhi police and the MCD's internal vigilance wing have been notified of the complaint, and they are expected to launch an inquiry. No further details about the amount of money demanded or the identity of the officer have been disclosed at this stage.
