Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Traffic Amardeep Singh Rai on Thursday conferred a Commendation Certification (Class-1) on head constable Gurpreet Singh for turning down a bribe offered by a traffic violator.

“Janab, make a video (of traffic violator). See, he is offering me Rs 200 as a bribe. We will send this video to CM Bhagwant Mann’s group to show him how people are offering a bribe to the police,” Gurpreet can be seen telling his senior in the video.
