The accused, ASI Kamalpreet Sharma, has been absconding since then, cops said. The complainant, Harjinder Singh of Anandpur Sahib, had approached the VB stating that the ASI had demanded Rs 50,000 bribe in an accidental death case from the truck owner Satish Kumar.

The ASI had already taken Rs 5,000 but was still allegedly harassing the complainant even after being transferred from the Saneta police post.
