The AC has also advised the office staffs to declare and keep the excess amount of money in a safe at the office before joining the duty to take them back before leaving the office, said sources in the AC (prosecution) Office. When contacted, AC Farid said, "We have started this practice to keep the police staffs away from corruption and various irregularities."
