Mohammad Asif had demanded a bribe of Rs 1 lakh from Aarish from the Madrasa Manjuriya Akhtarul Uloom. The victim is a resident of Thana Bahedi of Bareilly.
A strange case of bribery has come to light in Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, where an employee of the Minority Welfare Department has asked the victim for a bribe of Rs 1 lakh to move forward a file involving the transfer of a madrasa from Rajpura to Vasundhara village.
Sources said the victim agreed to pay up after the official had stopped a file for six months. But when the victim expressed his inability to make an immediate full payment, the official -- Senior Assistant Waqf, Mohammad Asif -- gave him an easy way out: Pay in instalments.
But the outcome was not very pleasant for him. He was caught red-handed by the Vigilance Department as he was accepting the first instalment of Rs 18,000.
