The Anti-Corruption Bureau laid a trap for the officer of the police station near Hyderabad.
Telangana’s Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has caught a sub-inspector (SI) of the Keesara police station, on the edge of Hyderabad, taking a bribe of ₹2 lakh.
The ACB caught the officer in a trap, The Hindu and The New Indian Express reported on 9 and 10 November. In such a trap, officials mark the money and catch the person as it is handed over. The reports did not name the officer or say what the money was allegedly demanded for.
Keesara is in Medchal-Malkajgiri district, on Hyderabad’s north-eastern edge.
In ACB cases, the accused is usually produced before a special court for Prevention of Corruption Act cases. The officer’s response to the allegation was not available when this story was published.
The ACB asks people who are asked for a bribe to call its toll-free number, 1064.
