CHANDIGARH, MARCH 26
State
Vigilance Bureau during its ongoing drive against rampant corruption today nabbed
a Police Inspector and Constable posted in Excise department red handed
accepting bribe.
Disclosing this
here today, Mr. Suresh Arora, Chief Director-cum-DGP Vigilance Bureau Punjab said that Bureau has put up its best efforts to
eradicate corruption amongst public servants and others in every sphere in the
State. In this direction, the Vigilance Bureau caught Ranjit Singh Inspector Police
and Hardip Singh Constable posted in Excise department district Jalandhar,
demanding and accepting bribe from the complainant Jinderpal of village
Palliwali, Nakodar for implicating him falsely in under excise act.
He added that the
complainant approached the Bureau and alleged that both the accused police
officials have raided his house without any official duty and nothing was found
from his premises. Despite that they were demanding a bribe of Rs. 5,000 for not
to book him in an excise case. After finding the veracity of facts a vigilance
team led by Mr Satpal DSP Vigilance Bureau Jalandhar laid a trap and both the
accused were nabbed red handed near Railway Station Nakodar in the presence of
two government officials as witnesses. The tainted money was recovered from them.
In this regard a vigilance case under u/s 7, 13 (1) read with 13 (2) of
Prevention of Corruption Act 1988 at Vigilance Bureau Police Station Jalandhar and
further investigation was under progress.
