Kajal Meena, a Sub-Divisional Magistrate in Nadauti, located in Karauli district, Rajasthan, has been arrested by the Rajasthan Anti-Corruption Bureau for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹60,000 (approximately $720 USD). The arrest followed a complaint that claimed she demanded a bribe of ₹1 lakh (roughly $1,200 USD) for processing an order related to a land dispute, which was later negotiated down to ₹60,000. Alongside Meena, her reader Dinesh Kumar Saini and senior assistant Praveen Dhakad were also apprehended.
