Saharanpur, July 3: An inspector of the Excise Department was arrested in a trap set by the Anti-Corruption Bureau while allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹25,000 in Saharanpur.
Trap was put in place following a complaint filed by one Sushil Kumar, who had applied for a refund of ₹45,000 security money he had deposited for a liquor shop allotted to him in the previous financial year.
Instead of processing the refund through proper channels, Inspector Shailendra Kumar allegedly demanded a bribe of ₹25,000 to release the remaining amount.
Acting swiftly on the complaint, the ACB laid a trap and apprehended the officer red-handed while taking the bribe. J
