Delhi cop arrested for taking ₹15,000 bribe
A Delhi Police Assistant Sub-Inspector, Rakesh Kumar, was caught on Tuesday for allegedly taking a ₹15,000 bribe from a local resident near Hauz Qazi police station.
The complainant said Kumar demanded the money to keep him out of a false case.

The Vigilance Branch set up a sting with marked notes. As soon as officers moved in, Kumar tossed the cash—30 notes of ₹500—into the air hoping to escape trouble.

Kumar has been charged under the Prevention of Corruption Act and will soon appear in court.
