Jaipur, Jun 14 (PTI) The Rajasthan Anti-Corruption Bureau on Saturday arrested a woman sub-inspector and two head constables of Bengaluru Police for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 40,000 at a hotel in Jaipur, officials said.
The accused were identified as Sub-Inspector Anitha K and Head Constables Ullvappa Tegur and Yateesh, all posted at HAL Police Station in Bengaluru, Karnataka, they said.
According to the ACB, a complaint was received alleging that the complainant and his family members were facing a dowry harassment case registered at HAL Police Station in Bengaluru. The accused police personnel had come to Jaipur for investigating the case and allegedly demanded Rs 2 lakh to dilute the case and clear the family members of the allegations.
After verification, the ACB found the bribery allegations to be prima facie correct. The complainant was allegedly asked to arrange the money by the next morning.
An ACB team laid a trap at Hotel Gangaur in Jaipur on Sunday. During the operation, Head Constable Ullvappa Tegur was caught red-handed while accepting Rs 40,000 as part of the alleged bribe amount.
Subsequent questioning revealed the involvement of the accused sub-inspector and Head Constable Yateesh, following which both were arrested, the ACB said.
