₹2 crore alleged, ₹4 lakh in currency found
Rajasthan ACB says an alleged middleman was trapped accepting ₹2 crore in an Udaipur case before SOG officer Mukesh Kumar Soni was detained and later arrested.
The case includes a ₹2 crore allegation and ₹4 lakh described as recovered currency; details of the balance remain unclear.
The Rajasthan Anti-Corruption Bureau says it trapped alleged middleman Sajjan Singh Jain, alias Tatla, while he was accepting ₹2 crore at a complainant’s factory in Udaipur on September 26. The alleged payment concerned relief for people arrested in the Udaipur Municipal Corporation’s 272-plot case, including avoiding further implication and returning documents.
The ACB says it verified the alleged demand before laying the trap. Special Operations Group Additional SP Mukesh Kumar Soni was detained from his residence in Balotra district after investigators said his role appeared suspicious, and was later reported arrested. The case invokes Sections 7 and 7A of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
The ₹2 crore demand remains an allegation attributed to the complainant and the ACB. Reports specifically describe ₹4 lakh of the recovered amount as Indian currency; the available material does not establish the form of the rest. Soni and Jain’s responses, or those of their lawyers, have not been publicly reported. The case has produced a ₹2 crore allegation, a trap and ₹4 lakh in described cash. The paperwork that would settle the rest is still missing.
