Madhya Pradesh: Patwari Gajendra Singh chews currency notes on being caught taking bribe

In Madhya Pradesh’s Katni, the Lokayukta Police arrested a patwari, Gajendra Singh, on Monday for accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000. Realizing that he was caught, Singh resorted to a desperate act by putting Rs 500 currency notes in his mouth and chewing on them. Patwaris are responsible for maintaining land records and revenue collection from villages.

A video of the incident went viral, showing Singh being escorted by the police to a hospital while still chewing the currency notes he had hidden in his mouth. Despite attempts to persuade him to spit out the notes, Singh swallowed them, and after much effort, only nine pieces of Rs 500 notes could be recovered by the medical staff.

According to news reports, a constable tried to retrieve the notes from Singh’s mouth, but he bit the constable’s finger during the struggle. Singh serves as a patwari in the revenue department in Bilhari Halka village in Katni, and he swallowed the bribe money upon realizing the presence of the Lokayukta’s Special Police Establishment (SPE). Lokayukta SP Sanjay Sahu stated to the media that the incident occurred after Singh received the bribe in his office.

The case came to light when Chandan Singh Lodhi from MP’s Barkheda filed a complaint with Jabalpur Lokayukta, accusing Singh of demanding a bribe for demarcating his grandfather’s land. Singh asked Chandan to come to his private office to give the bribe, but Chandan requested him not to accept it. However, Singh refused and insisted on taking the bribe. In response to the complaint, a seven-member team of the Lokayukta police set a trap for Singh, leading to his apprehension while he attempted to chew up the incriminating notes.

The Lokayukta police also recovered some remnants of the currency notes and other items from Singh’s office. He has been booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act for his involvement in the bribery incident.
