Patna DM Dismisses Revenue Employee Over Corruption Charges
Patna District Magistrate Thiyagarajan S M has dismissed revenue employee Raja Kumar from his position at the Masaurhi circle office. This action follows serious corruption charges against Kumar.
Vigilance Department Arrest and Inquiry Findings
The vigilance department arrested Raja Kumar on December 23, 2025. They charged him with taking bribes and deliberately delaying land mutation tasks. An inquiry led by the additional collector thoroughly investigated these allegations.
The inquiry proved all charges of irregularity and professional misconduct. It found clear evidence supporting the vigilance department's case against Kumar.
Employee's Response and Dismissal Decision
Authorities granted Raja Kumar a hearing to present his defence. However, he offered no valid explanation or justification for his actions. His failure to provide a credible defence left the allegations unchallenged.
Based on the inquiry findings and Kumar's lack of defence, DM Thiyagarajan S M made the decision to dismiss him from service. This move aims to uphold integrity in revenue administration.
The dismissal sends a strong message against corruption in government offices. It demonstrates the administration's commitment to taking strict action in such cases.
