Hisar ACB chargesheets cop held for graft

The State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Hisar, has submitted a challan before a Hisar court against Police Sub-Inspector Ramniwas, who is accused in a corruption case under Sections 7, 13(1)(b), and 13(2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act.

A spokesperson of the bureau said the complainant had alleged in a complaint to the bureau that an FIR had been registered against his son, Devender, at the Hisar civil lines police station.

The FIR was being investigated by Sub-Inspector Ramniwas, and, during the process, the Sub-Inspector demanded a cash bribe of Rs 20,000 for securing bail for the complainant’s son on the day he was presented before a court.

On repeated requests, the accused agreed to reduce the bribe amount to Rs 15,000.

Acting on the complaint, the State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau, Hisar, arrested Sub-Inspector Ramniwas red-handed at the Hisar civil lines police station while accepting a cash bribe of Rs 15,000 from the complainant.

Consequently, an FIR was registered on June 20 against the accused.
