An anti-corruption crackdown in Uttar Pradesh led to the arrest of a government doctor and his wife, a private practitioner, for allegedly extorting bribes from police recruitment candidates. The accused were caught during a joint raid at their hospital.

Authorities seized Rs 1.3 lakh in cash and six mobile phones from Dr. Hari Narayan Prabhakar, who was allegedly part of a plot to threaten recruitment candidates with medical disqualification to extort money. His wife, Shivani, and two others were also involved.

The corruption scandal has triggered a probe to determine the extent of extortion and the number of victims. The arrested individuals face judicial proceedings and further investigation is underway to ensure justice and reform within the recruitment process.
