ACC has indicated that it will take necessary actions following further inquiry and verification of the allegations.

In anticipation of the presidential election, ACC had introduced a dedicated online platform for reporting incidents of bribery. This initiative has seen the submission of corruption-related cases through the online portal, as well as through other means of reporting. Additionally, the portal serves as an informational resource, offering guidance on recognizing electoral bribery and taking preventive measures. 

To ensure user confidentiality, the portal has been designed with stringent data protection measures. Updates on case developments will be discreetly and anonymously communicated to users.
