LAHORE: The Superintendent of Atock Jail, Imran Berth, was arrested on October 6, 2026, for attempting to bribe the Inspector General of Prisons. Berth allegedly placed an envelope filled with cash on the IG’s desk in a bid to secure favorable treatment.

Authorities confirmed that the IG Prisons refused the bribe and immediately reported the incident, leading to Berth’s swift arrest. This incident highlights ongoing issues of corruption within Pakistan’s prison system, raising concerns about the integrity of law enforcement.

The arrest of a high-ranking official like Berth underscores the challenges faced by the Pakistani government in combating corruption, particularly in institutions tasked with maintaining law and order. Citizens are increasingly demanding accountability and transparency from public officials.

Following this incident, an internal investigation is expected to be launched within the prison department to address systemic corruption. Officials have indicated that further measures will be implemented to prevent such occurrences in the future.
