In a decisive strike against bureaucratic corruption within state healthcare establishments, the Nuh operational sub-unit of the Haryana State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has caught an administrative staff member red-handed while accepting illegal gratification. The enforcement operation took place at the premier Shaheed Hasan Khan Mewati (SHKM) Government Medical College in Nalhar, Nuh, where the accused—identified as Sakruddin, an assistant stationed directly inside the Dean's administrative office—was apprehended in possession of ₹22,000 in bribe money. The arrest sent shockwaves through the administrative corridors of the medical institution as anti-graft investigators moved swiftly to seal office records and initiate statutory criminal proceedings.
The Extortion Demand: Bribe Demanded to Clear Six Days of Extra Duty Attendance
The vigilance trap was initiated following a formal complaint registered by a college employee who was subjected to illegal demands:
The Predicate Demand: The complainant approached the Anti-Corruption Bureau alleging that Sakruddin was deliberately obstructing the official verification of six days of completed extra duty.
Price Tag for Attendance Clearance: To mark the additional shifts in official service registers and authorize subsequent wage disbursements, the assistant explicitly demanded a kickback of ₹22,000.
Vigilance Verification: Upon receiving the grievance, the Nuh sub-unit of the ACB conducted preliminary inquiries and discreet verifications to establish the authenticity of the extortion allegation before setting up an on-site trap.

Operating under standardized statutory trap procedures, the anti-corruption squad caught the suspect in the act:
Strategic Ambush: ACB officials handed chemically treated currency notes to the complainant with instructions to deliver the cash directly to the suspect within the college administrative complex.
Caught Red-Handed: As soon as Sakruddin accepted the ₹22,000 bribe inside the Dean's office, waiting ACB officers raided the room and recovered the marked currency from his immediate possession.
Atmosphere of Panic: The unannounced raid and on-the-spot apprehension created immediate commotion among staff members and administrative officers across the Nalhar medical college campus.
FIR Registered at Gurugram ACB Station as Comprehensive Investigation Begins
Following the recovery and arrest, investigative authorities initiated formal prosecution steps:
Statutory Criminal Charges: A formal case under the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered against Sakruddin at the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau police station in Gurugram.
Interrogation and File Scrutiny: Anti-graft sleuths are currently examining official files handled by the accused to determine whether similar extortion tactics were used against other healthcare workers or hospital contractual staff.
Zero-Tolerance Stance: Senior ACB officials reiterated that stringent vigilance crackdowns against public servants demanding kickbacks will continue unabated across southern Haryana in strict accordance with anti-corruption laws.
