A surveyor of the Lalbagh Revenue Circle in Dhaka has been arrested while accepting Tk1 lakh in bribe, allegedly after demanding Tk80 lakh to determine land boundaries and complete land mutation.
The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) arrested surveyor Mohammad Asadul Islam red-handed during a sting operation on Tuesday.
ACC Deputy Director Mohammad Akhtarul Islam confirmed the arrest, saying the surveyor had been accused of demanding Tk80 lakh in exchange for providing the land-related services.
According to the ACC, the complainant informed the commission after the surveyor allegedly demanded the bribe and requested a trap operation to catch him red-handed.
Following preliminary verification of the complaint and completion of necessary legal procedures, a special team from the ACC’s Dhaka-1 District Office conducted the operation.
During the operation, Asadul Islam was caught accepting Tk1 lakh in bribe.
The ACC said legal proceedings were underway to file a case against the arrested surveyor at its Dhaka-1 District Office and produce him before a court.
