Officials of the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Saturday arrested a Sub Inspector of Meerpet Police Station for demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹10,000.
SI Boddupally Saidulu was arrested following a complaint from Madhani Subash, a realtor from Balapur.
Subash had a tiff with his associate Nazmuddin after which a complaint was filed against him in Meerpet police station.
“However, the two parties resolved their differences and had a settlement. Subhash then sought the petition to be closed and was asked to give ₹10,000 as bribe,” said the officials.
On Saturday afternoon, the bribe amount was recovered from the SI and he was arrested.
