Hyderabad : A sub-inspector of the Keesara police station in the Malkajgiri Commissionerate was caught red-handed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday while allegedly accepting a ₹2 lakh bribe from a complainant. Earlier, on Sept 16, the ACB arrested the then inspector, A Anjaneyulu, and SI D Gyanender Reddy of the Keesara PS for allegedly demanding and accepting a ₹5 lakh bribe from a complainant.
The accused abused his official position and performed his public duty improperly and dishonestly to obtain an undue advantage,” the ACB said. This is the third arrest of police personnel from the Keesara PS in the past two months. Acting on the complaint, an ACB team laid a trap and arrested the SI. “The tainted amount was recovered from the SI’s possession at his instance. They were remanded to judicial custody.
Earlier, the inspector and another sub-inspector of the station were arrested by the ACB in a bribery case. The accused has been arrested and will be produced before the ACB Special Court in Nampally for judicial remand on Tuesday.
“The bribe was sought to ensure the expeditious completion of the investigation and the immediate filing of charge sheets in two cases registered against the complainant at the Keesara PS,” the ACB said.
