Corruption has once again come under the scanner at Keesara Police Station in Telangana, with a Sub-Inspector, identified as Srinivas, allegedly caught red-handed by Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials while accepting a bribe of Rs 2 lakh.

According to allegations, SI Srinivas had demanded the money to file a chargesheet in a case. He was caught while allegedly accepting the bribe at Shilpa Nagar in Nagaram.

The latest incident comes barely two months after two police officials attached to the same police station were caught in a separate bribery case.

On September 16, the ACB caught a Sub-Inspector while he was allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 5 lakh from a complainant on the instructions of the station house officer (SHO) and Inspector of Police. The money was allegedly demanded in exchange for granting station bail and not harassing the complainant and his friend in a case already registered against them, an ACB release said.

The bribe amount was recovered from the Sub-Inspector, the ACB said, adding that both the Inspector and the SI had acted “improperly and dishonestly” to obtain undue advantage.
