Rajasthan Suspends SDM Kajal Meena After ACB Bribery Arrest

The move signals a swift response to an anti-graft trap over an alleged ₹60,000 payoff for a land decree.

Overview

  • Meena was suspended on Saturday under Rule 13 after an Anti-Corruption Bureau trap on Thursday at the Nadoti SDM office where ₹60,000 changed hands.
  • Investigators say the payment was sought to issue the complainant’s final land partition decree in Karauli district.
  • ACB officers caught Sub-Divisional Magistrate Kajal Meena with her reader, Dinesh Kumar Saini, and senior assistant, Praveen Dhakad, during the staged handover.
  • Officials also recovered an extra ₹4 lakh from the bag used in the exchange, and the team is tracing where that cash came from.
  • The bureau cites a recorded phone call as evidence and has registered a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act while questioning continues.
