BENGALURU: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), set up five years ago by the Congress government by hiving it off from the institution of Lokayukta, has been successful in getting conviction in just four of 1,445 cases, raising questions about the speed with which it handles graft in public offices.
Since 2016, the ACB has registered cases against 186 government staff on charges of amassing wealth disproportionate to known sources of income and bribery cases against 957 government employees. Of these cases, the accused in four cases have been convicted, as per information sourced by the Karnataka Rashtra Samithi which is fighting corruption in government offices.
