The ACB spokesman said that they received a complaint alleging that a public servant, namely PSI Murtaza Rehman, Incharge PP GMC Jammu, and his driver and SPO, namely Himanshu Sharma, had demanded illegal gratification for running Rehari at the exit gate of GMC Jammu from the complainant.
The accused had demanded illegal gratification from the complainant for running Rehari.
Since the complainant didn’t want to pay a bribe, he approached the Anti-Corruption Bureau to take legal action against the accused public servant under the law.

The accused was arrested on the spot by the ACB team after following due process of law.
