A sub-inspector with Nalasopara police in neighbouring Palghar district was arrested for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe, a Maharashtra Anti-Corruption Bureau official said Monday.
PSI Siddesh Shinde (43) demanded Rs 10,000 from a man for not arresting him in a case filed at Nalasopara police station, the Thane Unit ACB official said.
"After we received a complaint from the victim, we laid a trap on Monday evening and caught Shinde red-handed while accepting the bribe amount of Rs 10,000," he said.
Shinde has been charged under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, he added.
