SILCHAR: In its continued drive, the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption cell of Assam Police caught a Lat Mondal while he was taking a bribe. Utpal Kumar Nath, the Lat Mondal was arrested on Wednesday morning at his office chamber at Pailapool in Lakhipur while he was taking bribe of Rs 2000 for issuing a land related certificate to the complainant who had earlier informed the V& AC officials. Nath, the Lat Mondal of the office of Settlement Officer of Cachar and Hailakandi, was trapped by the anti-corruption wing by tampering with the currency notes with chemical that he was supposed to accept as bribe. As soon as Nath received the money, the anti-corruption officials surfaced at his office and caught him red handed after performing the chemical test.

A complaint was registered against Nath with the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption. A team of the cell reached Silchar to trap the Lat Mondal and finished their operation successfully.
