ACB Gujarat nabs accomplice of ASI and Head Constable in bribe case in Valsad

Valsad: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Gujarat on Friday nabbed an individual for accepting a bribe of Rs. 1,50,000 intended for an Assistant Sub-Inspector and a Head Constable of the Nanaponda Police Station in Valsad.

According to the case details, a prohibition case was registered against the complainant and his brother at the Nanaponda Police Station. They were found driving a Swift car registered in the name of the complainant’s wife. Accused A.S.I. Yogeshbhai Iswarbhai Mahala and Head Constable Atulbhai Hasmukhbhai Patel demanded a bribe of Rs. 1,50,000 from the complainant to prevent the disclosure of the complainant’s wife’s name in the crime and to avoid harassment.

Since the complainants were unwilling to pay the bribe, they contacted the ACB. Based on their complaint, a trap was set up, and the accused Sayajibhai Samjibhai Gaekwad (accomplice) was caught while accepting the bribe from the complainant. He also spoke to the ASI on the phone to inform him that the money had been received.

Sayajibhai Samjibhai Gaekwad was caught at the scene and detained by the ACB. The ASI and the constable were not found at the location, and their search is ongoing. DeshGujarat
