Bribe for dope clean chit, VB nabs guard

A VB spokesperson, in a statement released here today, said that the accused, identified as Jatinder Singh, was caught red-handed following a complaint lodged by a local resident Resham Singh. The complainant alleged that the accused had demanded a bribe to facilitate the issuance of a negative dope test report required for obtaining an arms licence.

After verifying the facts, a flying squad of VB laid a trap, during which the accused was arrested while receiving the bribe in the presence of two official witnesses.

A case under Section 7-A of the Prevention of Corruption Act has been registered against him.

The accused will be produced before a competent court on Tuesday.
