Kharar, April 26
Court today sent the traffic policeman, who was held on a charge of graft here, to one-day police remand.
Harpreet Singh, posted with the Mohali PCR wing, was arrested for taking a bribe of Rs 200 from a taxi driver in Kharar. The suspect was checking vehicles at the Khanpur chowk on Sunday night when he allegedly took the bribe amount from the taxi driver for incomplete documents.
A passerby made a video and sent it to the anti-corruption helpline. The police said the Harpreet had set up an illegal naka and was caught taking bribe.
Kharar SHO Satinder Singh said when they went to the spot, they found Harpreet sitting in a car in uniform and arrested him. “The police are investigating whether the suspect had set up such nakas in the past or not,” the police said.
