ACB nabs police officer while accepting bribe of Rs 20,000

He was caught accepting the amount from one Anil Saple who is an accused in a cheating case

The Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Friday arrested a police official for demanding a bribe of Rs 20,000. Harishchandra Dalvi, a police sub-inspector of the MIDC police station, was arrested by the ACB after he was caught accepting the amount from one Anil Sapale, an accused in a cheating case.

According to the police, Sapale, who works in a foreign exchange firm, has been accused of embezzling foreign exchange amounting to Rs six lakh. He was booked by the MIDC police and Dalvi was the investigating officer in the case. Sapale had moved a local court seeking anticipatory bail and Dalvi was required to file a reply in this regard, say ACB officials. Dalvi had demanded the money to file a favourable reply to Sapale’s anticipatory bail application.

The ACB had arrested a sub-inspector of the Shivaji Park police station on Thursday while accepting a bribe of Rs 12,000.
