“The Circle Officer Rawalpindi, Zulfiqar Bazid, led by Magistrate, Talat Waheed, conducted a successful trap raid and recovered marked notes of Rs. 25,000 from the accused on the spot,” the DG Anti-Corruption said, adding that the accused had received a total bribe of Rs. 65,000 from the plaintiff for increasing his numbers.
He said that the plaintiff, Danish Raza, is a student of Class XII and a candidate at the said examination center.
This is the kind of traps that should be set but should be enhanced in following way: NAB, and ACE should be mandated to send out under cover officers pretending to be students, consumers, ordinary citizens offering bribes to officials and then arresting the bribe accepting officials. This will radically reduce corruption.
