A police constable from Dahod district of Gujarat was arrested on Saturday for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 39,500 for not assaulting two cousins in a lock up, an ACB official said.
Katwara police station constable Hardik Baria was held when he was accepting the amount from a relative of the two men who were arrested on September 22 from Bordi village in connection with an alleged robbery case.
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) official further said Katwara police station sub-inspector, who is also accused of demanding bribe, is wanted in the case, the official said.
Baria had allegedly demanded Rs 40,000 on behalf of the sub-inspector.
