ACB issues advisory for government employees over extortion calls

In case employees receive any such calls, they have been advised to reach out to toll free helpline number – 1064 and also lodge a complaint at the nearest police station

Hyderabad: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Sunday issued an advisory for government employees over extortion calls being made by imposters claiming to be ACB officials.

“Some persons are indulging in making fake calls in the name of ACB officers, threatening public servants, by demanding money for not registering cases against them. The ACB officials never call public servants asking for money to not register cases against them. The government employees should not believe in such calls and should not make payments to such fake callers,” the advisory read.
