In a decisive move, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested a 42-year-old sub-inspector from Maharashtra's Thane district, following allegations of bribery. Caught in a sting operation, the officer was apprehended at the Kashigaon Police Station.
Sources revealed that the sub-inspector had demanded a bribe of Rs 25,000 to assist a man whose brother was implicated in a criminal case. The individual, unwilling to comply with the demand, reported the incident to the ACB.
On Monday, ACB officials successfully executed a trap, catching the sub-inspector red-handed as he accepted a partial payment of Rs 15,000 within the police station premises. A case has since been registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act, officials confirmed.
