Reporting Corruption
3 years ago
Hi. All.
I recently found out a corruption from a Govt PWD engineer. An agent is providing manipulated building valuation certificate to the sub registrar office, for the land documentation, with with wrong information and charging huge amounts ( like 10,000) on his behalf, thereby doing tax fraud. for example a property of crores is marking as of few lahks ( like 5 lahk).
Thinking that this PWD engineer was not aware of it, we went in search of his address on seal. I surprised with their reaction. They misbehaved with me and abused, and I understood that this person is aware of the fraud and PWD engineer himself arranged the agent for signing on his behalf. Thereafter I called registrar, and registrar was happy to listen me.
The things changed thereafter. I started to get multiple call from politicians and threatening call. Next day when I called registrar to submit complaint, the registrar ignored me and shouted (I guess Registrar also got call from politicians as mentioned in one of threatening call I received). And almost all land brokers and document writers came to know about my complaints. Then I called anti corruption bearua. They asked for details. But I am worried that the PWD Engineer will know that I am the one behind the complaint.
My father and me are civil engineers. I am worried of two things, 1. will I lose my clients ( bcs the accused person is Muslim and my place is Muslim dominant area, thus our clients And they are always together for their fellows.( NB. nothing to do with Islamophobia and religion) 2. what if it becomes life threatening.
I wish I could do something about this, as the PWD engineer is told us " Nothing wrong in Bribing".
So is there anyway I complaint without affecting me.
Thank you s so much for the advice

You have to file a complaint before the Prime Minister and the Finance Minister, and one copy should be sent to the IGR of the state govt.
