In a bid to curtail corruption, the Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) has started cracking the whip on the family members of bureaucrats in several disproportionate assets cases (DPA). Though the rule was always in place, the kin of tainted officers were rarely booked. But since January 1, 2014, the ACB has registered around 48 DPA cases in which as many as 28 families have been booked.
