Vigilance’s surprise inspection at check-posts on Palakkad district borders

The Hindu  

A surprise inspection was carried out by a Vigilance team at various motor vehicle check-posts on the borders of Palakkad district, including Gopalapuram, Walayar In, Walayar Out, Govindapuram, and Meenakshipuram, between 11 p.m. on Friday and 3 a.m. on Saturday. During the inspection, the team seized ₹1,49,490, allegedly bribes offered by drivers of vehicles carrying over-loaded goods, granite products, cattle, and vehicles transporting pilgrims to Sabarimala. The bribes were purportedly offered to officials in the check-posts in exchange for allowing them to pass without proper checks. The vigilance unit acted on a tip-off regarding corrupt practices at these check-posts, where officials were allegedly accepting bribes to allow vehicles to pass without conducting proper inspections.
