Closing Rishwat.pk

Hi everyone, Abrar here, the person behind rishwat.pk.

I have decided to shut down Rishwat.pk. It was never meant to fix society. It was meant to hold up a mirror.

The website was bombarded with submissions, and sadly, it showed one thing clearly: rishwat is an everyday business.

I hope I did not hurt anyone. But if the truth hurt, maybe it was worth hearing.

Remember:

"رشوت دینے والے اور رشوت لینے والے دونوں پر اللہ کی لعنت ہے"

Sunan Ibn Majah, Hadith No. 231

Thanks everyone for the feedback and support.

I Built a Website to Track Bribes in Pakistan

Edit: latest state https://www.reddit.com/r/pakistan/s/dNL60P5p0G

I saw someone build a website in India where people can anonymously report bribes they’ve paid in public departments.

I thought: why not build the same for Pakistan?

So I built rishwat.pk 🇵🇰

If you’ve ever paid a bribe or know someone who has, please report it. Even one report helps build a clearer picture of corruption in Pakistan.

It’s completely anonymous. We don’t collect IP addresses or run analytics.

My goal is to build the **largest public dataset on bribes in Pakistan** and make the data useful for researchers, journalists, citizens, and policymakers.
