The wife of a deceased Alwar police officer alleges that Durga Singh, Assistant Secretary (Governance) at the Jaipur Secretariat, accepted Rs 66,000 to secure an Anukampa appointment for her son.
Alwar resident and widow of a former police officer has lodged a complaint alleging that Durga Singh, who serves as Assistant Secretary (Governance) in the Jaipur Secretariat, took a sum of Rs 66,000 in exchange for arranging an Anukampa appointment for her son. The allegation was made public through local media reports, linking the payment directly to the alleged job placement.
The complainant asserts that the money was handed over with the expectation that Singh would use his official position to secure the post for her child under the Anukampa scheme. No official response from the Secretariat or the accused has been recorded at the time of reporting.
If the claim is substantiated, it could trigger an investigation under Rajasthan's anti‑corruption statutes, as bribery for public appointments is a punishable offense. Law enforcement agencies are expected to verify the transaction details and the procedural legitimacy of the alleged appointment.
