The DSP identified as Brajesh Singh Kushwaha allegedly demanded Rs 50,000 from Shahid Khan for "settling" a complaint lodged by a person from the Banjara community in connection with the purchase of a land, Lokayukta SP Arun Mishra said.
Later Khan tipped off the Lokayukta police about it after which a trap was laid and Kushwaha was nabbed by Lokayukta sleuths when he took Rs 50,000 from Khan at his residence.
A case was registered under the Prevention of Corruption Act against Kushwaha and further investigations are on, Mishra said.
