Mumbai: Between January, 1 2019 and October 5, 2021, from 6213 complaints received by the Anti-Corruption Bureau Unit (ACB) Mumbai only 213 questions ordered and out of the question, only one FIR registered while 38 cases.
Closed and 174 are still delayed.
This, said RTI activist Jeetendra Ghadge who obtained this information through RTI, clearly showed that ACB was not interested in fighting corruption because it was mainly focused on the case of traps where someone was caught with bribes.
However, even in the case of ‘red arrest’ (total 109) the level of confidence was very bad, he revealed condemning the information received from ACB.
Only four beliefs that have been secured during the period while in 15 cases the defendant was released, data revealed.
This poor performance, he said, questioned the trap process carried out by the ACB which was said to have been enhanced by introducing corrupt action videography rather than applying the old process of currency powder layers and using audio, how could it be caught red-handed released by the court?, He asked.
“Furthermore, ACB has continued 3523 complaints to each department because ACB felt that the government department concerned had to take action.
It is regardless of the fact that the Bombay High Court has directed ACB when hearing that ACB must stop continuing complaints and taking their own complaints.
It is a clear violation of regularity and insults to the court.
It’s time for ACB to change the old trap process to ensure maximum confidence, “the alleged Ghadge.
Meanwhile, the additional CP, ACB, the Mumbai Laxmi region Gautam said in Section 17 A from the prevention of Corruption Act 2018 There was no investigation which could begin in matters of criminal violations without prior permission from the government if this problem was related to public servants.

There was also a circular government (issued in 2015) where there was no investigation that could be done in the complaint where anonymous or pseudononim,” He said.
Denying allegations that ACB only took smaller cases and not a high profile, Gautam said 30% of the defendants were arrested in 2021 in Mumbai were first-class officers who included the chief executive of several government organizations.
Meanwhile, with other charges of ACB.
The state shows that the level of confidence in the state is better at 10%.
However, he said the increase in several methods was definitely being considered.
By referring to corruption cases in MLC / MLC Jan 1, 2015 and so on to date, only 3 mlash Chhagan, Sameer, and Pankaj Bhujbal faced an investigation and pending trial.
The two registered cases in 2015 are awaiting trials in court while two cases 2016 & 2017 are still under investigation even after 4 years have passed, revealing data received under RTI.
Ghadge, which is also the convenience of Young Whistleblowers Foundation, said, “ACB demands ‘prevention of corruption’ if this action is carried out and executed sincerely by ACB, 90% of corruption in the state can be controlled.
Unfortunately, decades have passed but ACB has not been Reforming himself for a greater good “
