The statement does not say that all 612 officials have been convicted in corruption cases. The cases listed are at different stages even as some officials have been convicted and dismissed, others have been acquitted, and several cases are still under trial. In a number of cases, departmental proceedings are also pending or have been kept in abeyance until the outcome of criminal proceedings.
The cases include FIRs registered under various provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act as well as cases involving cheating, criminal breach of trust, forgery, conspiracy and other offences.
