Assam: Cop in police net for accepting bribe

GUWAHATI: A police officer was on Sunday arrested by the sleuths of the anti-corruption and vigilance directorate in Assam’s Goalpara district for allegedly accepting a bribe.

The assistant sub-inspector of Matia Police Station, Sabin Pal Das, was caught with the bribe from inside a police station, a press release said.

The directorate of anti-corruption and vigilance received a complaint against Das for allegedly demanding Rs 35,000.
