A police inspector was arrested for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs. 20,000 from a complainant, Anti-Corruption Bureau said.
“We have arrested police inspector Ashok Kashiram Gajbhiye, 57, attached to Kanjur Marg police station, while he was accepting Rs. 20,000 from complainant at his residence in Bhandup,” said a statement issued by the ACB.
The complainant, staying under Kanjur Marg police station limits, has two cases respectively under MRTP and IPC.
Both the cases are being investigated by Gajbhiye and chargesheets against the complainant have already been filed, it said.
