Jaipur, April 3, 2025 – In a major crackdown against corruption in Rajasthan’s police force, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested three police personnel in separate incidents across the state on charges of bribery.
Two Constables Caught Red-Handed in Kota
The Kota unit of the ACB arrested constables Banveer Acharya and Manish Kumar Jangid, posted at Dadabari Police Station, Kota City, while accepting a bribe of ₹10,000. The duo had allegedly demanded ₹30,000 from a complainant to help shield her sons from legal action in a case registered at the station.
ACB Director General Dr. Ravi Prakash Meharda confirmed that a trap was laid following verification of the complaint. The accused were caught red-handed while receiving the partial bribe amount.
Head Constable in Dholpur Caught with ₹4,000 Bribe
In a separate action, the Dholpur ACB unit arrested Head Constable Krishna Murari of Saipau Police Station while accepting a bribe of ₹4,000. The complainant alleged that the officer had demanded ₹5,000 to “assist” in a legal matter involving him and his family, and ensure they wouldn’t be harassed further.
Under the supervision of Deputy Superintendent Surendra Singh, the trap was executed, and the head constable was apprehended during the transaction. Upon sensing the ACB team’s presence, the officer reportedly threw the bribe money, which is currently being recovered as part of ongoing investigation efforts.
