The SHO of the Begun police station in Rajasthan's Chittorgarh and a middleman were arrested for allegedly offering bribe to an MLA, police said on Wednesday.
Begun Congress MLA Rajendra Singh Bidhuri had complained to the anti-corruption bureau that SHO Virendra Singh was trying to bribe him to ensure that he was not transferred elsewhere.
After examining the complaint, the ACB laid a trap.
Middleman Himanshu was arrested at the MLA's residence while offering a bribe of Rs 11.18 lakh.
The SHO was arrested in Chittorgarh for sending the bribe amount through hawala, ACB DG Alok Tripathi said.
