UP Cop Caught Red-Handed Accepting Rs 50,000 Bribe In Bareilly

The complainant informed that Inspector Deep Chand, in charge of the Bhudia Colony Police Outpost, demanded a bribe of Rs 50,000 to prevent his arrest and resolve his brother and uncle's filed case.  

In-charge of a police outpost in the Bareilly District of Uttar Pradesh was arrested red-handed while reportedly accepting a bribe of Rs 50,000 by a team of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Tuesday, according to an official.

According to a report by the news agency PTI, Zeeshan Malik, the complainant informed the police that Inspector Deep Chand, in charge of the Bhudia Colony Police Outpost, demanded a bribe of Rs 50,000 to prevent his arrest and resolve a case filed against his brothers and an uncle.  

Malik also alleged that Chand threatened to send his entire family to jail if the bribe was not paid. After Malik's complaint, a case was registered against Chand at Devarnia Police Station, according to Jitendra Singh, the Inspector in charge of the Anti-Corruption Organisation team.

During a preliminary investigation, the team arranged for Malik to hand over the money, leading to Chand being caught red-handed. The inspector was subsequently arrested, and further investigation into the matter is ongoing, Singh added.
