The Vigilance police on Monday caught Khordha Sadar police station Sub-Inspector (SI) Kedarswar Nanda red-handed for demanding and accepting an illegal gratification of Rs 2,000.
He was caught taking the bribe from one Sushant Sahu, who had gone to the police station to release his seized motorcycle. Earlier, Nanda has demanded Rs 5,000 for releasing Sahu’s bike but when he refused to pay the same amount, Nanda finalised a deal of Rs 2,000.
Later, Sahu informed the Vigilance police about the matter and accordingly a trap was laid and Nanda was caught with the bribe money.
