Gujarat's Anti-Corruption Bureau registered an FIR against former Surendranagar collector Rajendrakumar Patel, his personal assistant, a clerk, and deputy mamlatdar Chandrasinh Mori after an Enforcement Directorate complaint initiated a probe into alleged bribery-linked money laundering. Mori was arrested after ₹67.5 lakh cash was found at his residence, which he admitted was bribe money collected to accelerate land-use application processing. The investigation highlights systemic corruption and extortion by public officials in the Surendranagar district collector's office, focusing on illegal gratification for the processing of statutory land-use applications under the state's agricultural land laws.
