The State Anti-Corruption Bureau on Monday, arrested ASI Rajendra Kumar red-handed, while taking a bribe of Rs5,000 from a complainant in a theft related case at Dhurwa here.
According to complainant Pawan Pramanik , a resident of HEC Sector II in Dhurwa , he had approached Dhurwa Thana to register a case in a theft case where the burglars took away 20 batteries from a Reliance Mobile Tower near Hanuman Mandir in Sector III. Investigation officer Rajendra Kumar, threatening him to put him into jail for the same case, demanded Rs5000 from him. As Pramanik did not want to give bribe to him, he lodged a complaint with the ACB.
