JAIPUR: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Thursday arrested the in-charge of Mandwar police station along with a head constable in Dausa for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 20,000 in lieu of giving benefit to an accused in a loot case.
The in-charge was also promising the accused that he will settle the case in such a manner that the victim of loot will agree for compromise.
Additional director general (ACB) B L Soni said the complainant had approached the sleuths of the bureau and stated that the in-charge identified as Lal Singh, the sub-inspector and in-charge of Mandawar police station was pressurising the accused in a loot case.
