Jodhan ASI caught taking bribe

Ludhiana: The Vigilance Bureau arrested an assistant sub-inspector posted at Jodhan police station while he was accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000 at Mansooran Chowk on Tuesday afternoon.
Accused ASI Hakam Singh had demanded Rs 7,000 from the complainant. The deal was later struck at Rs 5,000.
Complainant Nishan Singh of Sarabha village said, “My wife Manjit Kaur runs a boutique in the village. Another woman of the village, Ranjit Kaur, works as a helper there. On May 25, Ranjit had a fight with her husband Vajinder. When Vajinder started thrashing Ranjit, Manjit tried to rescue her. But Vajinder thrashed the two. After their medical examinations, the two lodged a police complaint. However, Vajinder somehow got a case registered against Manjit and Ranjit for beating him up.”
“I met investigating officer ASI Hakam Singh with the medical reports of Manjit and Ranjit and asked him to probe the case in a fair manner. Assuring action, the cop took a bribe of Rs 4,000 from me. Thereafter, he demanded Rs 7,000 more. The deal was settled at Rs 5,000,” he added.
SSP Rupinder Singh said when ASI Hakam Singh accepted the bribe near Mansooran Chowk, the VB team nabbed him red-handed.
A case has been registered.
