An official spokesperson said the Rohtak team of the CM’s flying squad had received information regarding discrepancies in the issuance of RCs and driving licence at the e-Disha Kendra. Thereafter, the squad raided the kiosks of typist Pradeep Kumar on the judicial premises.

During the raid, four driving licences, 20 RCs of vehicles, 33 Aadhaar cards, 12 voter identity cards and receipts of files deposited for obtaining NOC were recovered. In addition, seven high-security number plates of vehicles and a register maintaining the record of money transactions were also recovered.

During the interrogation, Pradeep confessed that he used to work in alliance with licence clerk Mohit Kumar and RC clerk Sunita Devi, working in the SDM office of Charkhi Dadri. Pradeep said he used to demand Rs 3,500 to Rs 5,000 from the applicants for issuing RCs of vehicles and driving licences. The money demanded by them was higher than the fees prescribed by the government and the three used to divide the remaining amount.
