Sleuths of Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Saturday caught a sub-inspector of police of Nallapadu in Guntur district while he was allegedly taking ₹40,000 as bribe.
According to ACB, the complainant, Vasantham Lakshmi Narayana of Jayanthi Nagar in Guntur, reportedly had a quarrel with his neighbour, who then lodged a complaint with the Nallapadu police against him and two of his family members. The sub-inspector, Katta Venkataiah, allegedly demanded ₹50,000 from Mr. Lakshmi Narayana for not registering a case and to avoid further action on him.
The SI allegedly took ₹10,000 a couple of days ago and was harassing Mr. Lakshmi Narayana for giving him the remaining amount. Following this, Mr. Lakshmi Narayana approached ACB.
