2 veterinary doctors of Jaipur caught taking bribe, demanded Rs 16 lakh to pass dog sterilization bill:

News India Live, Digital Desk: In Rajasthan’s capital Jaipur, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has laid a net on a big fish. Two veterinary doctors of Jaipur Municipal Corporation had demanded a huge bribe in exchange for passing a bill of Rs 75 lakh for a private firm doing sterilization and vaccination of stray dogs. On Monday, ACB took action and arrested both the doctors and their middleman (computer operator) red-handed while taking the first installment of Rs 4 lakh.

Recovery in the name of counting ‘organs’ of dogs

ACB Director General Govind Gupta said that the complainant (contractor) had received the tender for sterilization of stray dogs in the city. After the completion of the work, when it presented the bills for November-December 2025, the Municipal Corporation of Heritage Dr. Yogesh Sharma and of greater Dr. Rakesh Kaloria Has created a hurdle. It is alleged that he demanded Rs 16 lakh in exchange for counting the organs (Uterus/Testicles) preserved after sterilization and forwarding the file.

‘Deal’ finalized for Rs 15 lakh, monthly ‘week’ also fixed

According to the complaint, after negotiations the bribe amount was fixed at Rs 15 lakh. The surprising condition in this was that for the bills from January 2026 onwards, a ‘fixed bribe’ of Rs 3.50 lakh per month would also have to be paid. This network of corruption was so vicious that instead of taking money directly, doctors became contract workers and computer operators. Jitendra Singh Shekhawat Were ordering money through.

ACB’s trap and arrest in film style

After verifying the victim’s complaint, the trap was laid on Monday evening. The computer operator first called the victim to the office on Tonk Road and then changed the location and called C-Scheme. As soon as Jitendra Singh held Rs 4 lakh in the C-Scheme, the ACB team deployed nearby in plain uniform caught him. Soon after this, other teams also took into custody the two doctors present in the Municipal Corporation office.

Zero tolerance against corruption

In a city like Jaipur, where the problem of stray dogs is a serious issue, this kind of division in the budget of a project like sterilization has raised serious questions on the administrative system. ACB is now conducting raids at the residences and other locations of the arrested accused to unearth their disproportionate assets.
