CBI arrests Delhi Police officer for bribery

New Delhi, February 17

The CBI on Friday said it arrested a woman Sub-Inspector of the Delhi Police for receiving Rs 10,000 bribe from a man for favouring him in a case being investigated by her.

The agency officers arrested Sub-Inspector Kailashwati, deployed at West Delhi’s Janakpuri police station, red-handed while receiving the bribe from the complainant.

“We first registered a case on the complaint of the victim before conducting the raid. Initially, the Sub-Inspector demanded Rs 15,000 from the complainant to favour him in a case being investigated by her but later the deal was finalised in Rs 10,000," CBI spokesperson RK Gaur said.

The CBI officers also conducted searches at the residential premises of the accused police officer who would be produced before a competent court on Saturday. --IANS
