Two Gurugram police officers have been arrested in a bribery sting operation, highlighting ongoing efforts to combat corruption within the police force.
Gurugram Anti-Corruption Bureau has arrested two police personnel, including a woman sub-inspector, for accepting a bribe of Rs 25,000, officials said on Monday.
According to ACB, a few days ago, two parties came to the Sector 53 police station over a fight. The investigation of the case was assigned to SI Damod.
To settle the case, a bribe of Rs 40,000 was demanded from one party. The deal was finalised for Rs 25,000, and the complainant then reported the matter to the ACB, they said.
After receiving the complaint, the ACB team laid a trap and sent the complainant to the police station with Rs 25,000 on Saturday. There, the SI asked him to give the money to the police station's helper, officials said.
A team then arrested the helper, Deepak, and the SI while accepting the bribe, they added.
A senior officer of the ACB said that the matter is being investigated, and the zero-tolerance policy against corruption will continue.
