The Punjab Vigilance Bureau on Thursday arrested an assistant inspector general of police and booked two other personnel in a ₹1-crore bribery case from 2016, officials said.
The money allegedly exchanged hands when AIG Ashish Kapoor, currently posted as the commandant of the 4th Indian Reserve Battalion in Pathankot, was the superintendent of Amritsar Central Jail in 2016.
A spokesperson for the bureau said on Thursday the two policemen booked in the case are Deputy Superintendent of Police Pawan Kumar and Assistant Sub-inspector Harjinder Singh. They were posted at Zirakpur police station when the alleged bribery took place.
