The Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) yesterday cautioned people against an unscrupulous section involved in serving false notices and letters on different persons and organizations in the name of the commission.

Talking to reporters at his office here, ACC Director General Col Hanif Iqbal requested people to be confirmed about the identity of notice servers before receiving any notice of the ACC.

He suggested for communicating with the head office or divisional and coordinated district offices and talking to officers not below the rank of assistant director to be confirmed about the veracity of the notice.

The DG said the commission preliminarily suspected three employees of the now defunct Bureau of Anti-Corruption (BAC) on charges of unlawful activities and already launched investigation to this end.

He said the commission did not give the authority to any employee or official to serve notice on a person or an organization without prior approval of the commission.

Besides, only the designated persons have the power to serve notice or summons on anybody to give deposition or submit evidence before the commission. Moreover, the ACC does not inquire or investigate any matter out of its specific schedule, he said.
