The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested Head Constable Tapesh Gosai from Ratlam, Madhya Pradesh, for allegedly accepting a Rs 50,000 bribe in Bhilwara, Rajasthan. The bribe was part of a Rs 1.10 lakh demand linked to a fraud case against the complainant's brother, who is in custody. The complainant accused Gosai of threatening harm and legal trouble if the bribe was not paid. The ACB verified the complaint, conducted a trap operation, and registered a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
