Haryana ACB Arrests CID Inspector for Alleged Rs 5 Lakh Bribe in Kurukshetra
The Haryana State Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested CID Inspector Rajesh Kumar in Kurukshetra for allegedly accepting a Rs 5 lakh bribe. The bribe was reportedly demanded to allow mining vehicles to operate between Yamunanagar and Karnal without interference. The inspector initially sought Rs 10,000 per vehicle monthly, later reducing it to Rs 7,000 for about 70 vehicles. The arrest followed a complaint and a trap laid by the ACB at Umri Chowk. Investigation is ongoing under relevant anti-corruption laws.
