Bengaluru, November 4, 2025 — The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has issued notices to the Chief Secretary and Director General of Police (DGP) of Karnataka in connection with a bribery case that has raised serious concerns about administrative accountability.
The Commission acted upon media reports and complaints alleging that government officials were involved in corrupt practices, prompting NHRC to seek a detailed report from the state authorities within four weeks. The notice emphasizes the need for transparency and swift action in addressing the allegations.
According to sources, the case involves accusations of bribery linked to public service delivery, with potential violations of citizens’ rights. The NHRC has called for a thorough investigation and clarification on the steps taken to prevent recurrence of such incidents.
State officials have acknowledged receipt of the notice and assured full cooperation with the inquiry. The matter is expected to be reviewed at the highest administrative levels, with disciplinary action likely if the allegations are substantiated.
The NHRC’s intervention underscores its mandate to uphold human rights and ensure accountability in governance, especially in cases where public trust may be compromised.
