In a significant crackdown on corruption, three private surveyors associated with the Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) in Mumbai were apprehended for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹25,000. The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) conducted the operation following a tip-off, leading to the arrest of the accused individuals. The surveyors were reportedly demanding the bribe to expedite the processing of documents related to a slum redevelopment project. This incident highlights ongoing challenges in curbing corruption within public sector projects. Authorities have reiterated their commitment to maintaining transparency and accountability in such initiatives. Further investigations are underway to determine if more individuals are involved in this malpractice.
