New Delhi: The Central Bureau of
Investigation today arrested a Chandigarh police sub-inspector
for allegedly accepting Rs 2 lakh as bribe.
It is alleged that the SI was demanding a bribe of Rs 9
lakh from a property dealer to help him in connection with a
police case against his employees.
"The complainant (the property dealer) has alleged that a
case dated September 17, 2017 was registered at Police
Station, Sector 31, Chandigarh against three of his employees
and six others. A police team visited his business premises
to nab his employees and also harassed the complainant," a CBI
spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said it was further alleged that the
sub-inspector had demanded Rs 9 lakh for not "harassing" him
and for favouring his employees during investigation.
The SI also informed the complainant that Rs 1 lakh of
the said bribe money was meant for himself and the remaining
for the SHO, the CBI alleged.
"The CBI laid a trap and caught the SI red-handed while
demanding and accepting the bribe of Rs 2 lakh. Searches are
being conducted on the premises of the accused," he said.
