ACB Gujarat nabs woman head constable in bribe case

Chotaudepur: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Gujarat has nabbed a women head constable posted at Mahila Police Station, Division 3 in Chotaudepur, in a bribery case involving Rs. 5000.

As per the details of the case, due to a disagreement between the complainant and his wife, the complainant’s wife filed an application against him at Women’s Police Station Chotaudepur. After that, the accused woman head constable, Arunaben Karshanbhai Rathwa (39), took the statement of the complainant on January 4, 2024, and demanded a bribe of Rs. 10,000 from the complainant, which was later reduced to Rs. 5000. The accused cop took Rs. 2000 on the same day and asked the complainant to bring the remaining Rs. 3000 along with bail on January 6, 2024. The complainant, unwilling to pay the bribe amount of Rs. 3000, contacted the A.C.B.

The ACB, in a trap set up later, caught the accused red-handed while accepting the bribe in the computer room of the police station. The bribe amount of Rs. 2000 paid on January 4, 2024, has also been recovered. DeshGujarat
