According to sources, the Vigilance sleuths laid a trap and caught Nasir red-handed while he was allegedly accepting Rs 13,000 from a complainant for updating the holding tax of the last three years, which was in the name of his late father, and to process the file for creating a new holding number in the name of the complainant by fixing the same at a lower rate.

A case has been registered under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption (Amendment) Act 2018, and simultaneous searches have been launched at two locations to ascertain his disproportionate assets, a official release said.
