Hyderabad, May 13: A Police Officer arrested by the Telangana ACB in a bribery case has been booked for alleged illegal possession of bullets.
During searches by the Anti-Corruption Bureau at the home of the arrested office a Deputy Superintendent of Police, 21 bullets and 69 empty cases (shells) were found.
A case has been registered following a complaint by an ACB official.
The ACB on Monday said it arrested two police personnel including a Deputy Superintendent and an Inspector in Suryapet town for allegedly demanding a bribe from a complainant in exchange for an official favour.
Suryapet Deputy Superintendent and town Police Station Inspector were arrested after they allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 25 lakh from the complainant, which they later reduced to Rs 16 lakh at his request, the ACB had said in a release.
The ACB added that the alleged favour involved issuing a notice instead of arresting the complainant in a case and allowing him to run his scanning centre without interference.
