ACB Arrests Two Brokers in Rs 19.51 Crore Compensation Bribery Case
Itanagar, Jan 8: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Government of Arunachal Pradesh, has arrested two private individuals for allegedly acting as brokers in facilitating the collection of bribes in a major compensation-related scam.
According to the ACB, the arrests were made in connection with Case No. 13/2025. The accused have been identified as Rajo Gyadi (46) of Tassomora village and Yayo Yangfo (36) of T-II Colony, Seppa, both from East Kameng district.
The ACB stated that the accused, in connivance with the then DLR&SO, Seppa, and other associates, allegedly facilitated the fraudulent enhancement of compensation awards for private beneficiaries. Investigations have revealed that the syndicate collected a total of ₹19.51 crore from beneficiaries through post-dated cheques.
Out of the total amount, Rajo Gyadi allegedly received ₹1.96 crore in his bank accounts and related firms, while Yayo Yangfo is accused of collecting ₹1.77 crore, which forms part of the overall amount. Yangfo is also alleged to have played a key role in routing the bribe money through post-dated cheques.
Earlier, another accused, Khya Bagang, was arrested in the same case, leading to the discovery of further evidence and widening the scope of the investigation.
The ACB said that investigation is continuing based on the evidence collected so far and additional leads emerging during the probe. The bureau reiterated the state government’s commitment to curb corruption and urged citizens to report corruption-related complaints to the ACB Police Station, Itanagar, or through the dedicated helpline.
