DVAC arrests seven govt. staff in one week; seizes over ₹22 lakh in surprise checks

The Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) in Tamil Nadu has arrested seven government employees in separate bribery cases between July 4 and 10, 2026. During this period, the agency also conducted surprise inspections at 11 government offices across multiple districts, seizing ₹12.46 lakh in unaccounted cash. Additional surprise checks at six inter-State vehicle check-posts resulted in the recovery of ₹9.87 lakh in unaccounted cash, bringing the total amount seized to ₹22.33 lakh. Among the arrests, a junior assistant was implicated in accepting a ₹15,000 bribe for granting building plan approval, while other cases involved officials allegedly taking smaller sums for administrative tasks such as transferring land records and returning documents. Investigations into all these cases are ongoing.
