The Haryana Vigilance Bureau has released a list of 140 individuals accused of habitual graft, aiming to curb corruption across the state.
The Haryana Vigilance Bureau (HVB) today published a comprehensive list of 140 individuals alleged to have engaged in habitual graft. The list, made public through a press release, names persons from various sectors, including public officials, business leaders, and other influential figures.
The HVB stated that the compilation is part of an intensified anti-corruption campaign targeting entrenched malpractices. By identifying repeat offenders, the bureau hopes to deter future misconduct and strengthen accountability mechanisms.
Officials noted that the suspects have been under scrutiny for years, with prior investigations revealing patterns of bribery, embezzlement, and misuse of public resources. The list is intended to inform law‑enforcement agencies and the public about those who have repeatedly violated ethical norms.
The bureau has announced that it will collaborate with the state police and the Anti-Corruption Commission to pursue legal action against the named individuals. A follow‑up briefing is scheduled for the coming week to outline the next steps in the investigation process.
