A Special Court for Exclusive Trial of Cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act convicted Tamilselvi, a former Land Record Draughtsman (LRD), at the Tondiarpet tahsildar office and sentenced her to three-year imprisonment for receiving a bribe of ₹3,000 three years ago.

She demanded the bribe from A. Suresh, 35, of Korukkupet in 2020 to draw a sketch when he wanted to transfer a patta in his wife’s name.

She was caught by officers of the Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption.
