Graft cases: ACB nears last ye
Mumbai, April 30: An alarmingly high number of government officials in the city have been arrested while accepting bribes in the last four months by the Mumbai unit of the state Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB).
The number of trap cases registered by the ACB in the first four months of this year is close to the total number of cases registered by it last year. According to figures for the current year provided by the ACB, a total of 30 trap cases have already been registered till April 30. Thirty-one such cases were registered in the whole of last year.
The ACB has arrested 44 government employees in trap cases so far, as compared to a total of 55 arrests in 2006. The highest number of arrests have been from the Mumbai Police, with as many as 20 personnel this year.
“It is not as if there has been a change in policy, and that we are looking to register more cases. I believe that the substantial increase in number of cases is largely due to more awareness amongst the people about means to tackle corruption,” said Special Inspector General of Police, ACB, Hemant Karkare.
“They know where to lodge a complaint, and also how the ACB takes action. This has come about due to awareness campaigns organised by us, such as the Mumbai Pact Against Corruption, conducted towards the end of last year. Also, a toll free number for complaints was launched by the Deputy CM,” said Karkare.
He added: “Trust between the public and ACB has also increased, owing to our past traps. After a number of high-profile cases highlighted by the media, people are more willing to come forward with complaints.”
The ACB believes that innovations like mobile patrol vans have also helped greatly. “The idea behind the van was to reach out to citizens who could not reach our office. The van is parked outside important government buildings, and pamphlets about corruption and the ACB are distributed. The ACB’s number is displayed on the van. People can approach the patrol officer for lodging a complaint,” said Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police, ACB, Vilas Tupe.
