Holkar demanded a bribe of Rs 5,000 from this man, promising to get his money back from the woman and not accepting any complaint filed by her, police said. The Pune unit of the state Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested a policeman for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 2,000.
The accused, Anil Nivrutti Holkar (53), is a police havaldar attached to the Pune City Police’s Chandan Nagar police station.
According to a press release issued by the ACB Wednesday, a 23-year-old man had a dispute with a woman, to whom he had given a loan of Rs 50,000. Holkar demanded a bribe of Rs 5,000 from this man, promising to get his money back from the woman and not accepting any complaint filed by her, police said.
But the man filed a complaint of bribery against Holkar at the ACB’s Pune office. An ACB team then laid a trap and nabbed Holkar.
