Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann orders FIR against clerk after plaint on anti-corruption helpline

Chandigarh, March 25

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday ordered the registration of an FIR against a woman clerk after a complaint against her was received on the anti-corruption helpline, said AAP leader Malwinder Singh Kang here.

I received a complaint on our anti-corruption action helpline. Directed the authorities for immediate investigation, those caught asking for bribes will face severe consequences. Corruption won’t be tolerated in Punjab now,” Mann said in a tweet.

The anti-bribery helpline ‘9501 200 200’ has received around 20,000 complaints so far. However, a majority of these do not have an audio or video proof to support the claim.
