Police inspector arrested for bribery in Jaipur

A police inspector was arrested here Tuesday while accepting a bribe of Rs.1 lakh to clear a man in a criminal case, an officer said.

The state police's anti-corruption bureau (ACB) caught red-handed Harikishan Gaur, posted as station house officer of Muhana police station, taking the bribe, Inspector General (ACB) Smita Srivastava said.

The officer said that Omprakash was booked in a land grabbing case.

The ACB organised a trap and caught the SHO red-handed while he was accepting the money from Omprakash, she said.
