Telangana cop caught taking bribe day after getting best constable award

Bribe after reward

A day after he received the “Best Police” award from his district collector on Independence Day, a constable in Telangana was nabbed by the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for demanding and receiving a bribe. Constable Tirupati Reddy of Mahabubnagar district was caught by the ACB accepting a bribe of Rs 17,000 from a sand tractor owner. While the tractor owner had a valid permit to transport sand, Reddy demanded Rs 20,000. The driver approached the ACB and officials laid a trap. Reddy was arrested after the driver handed in Rs 17,000 to him on their next meeting.
