Mehsana: The Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) of Gujarat, with the help of a decoy trap, today nabbed three police personnel posted at Visnagar Police Station in a bribery case involving Rs. 200. One accused was on run.
In this case, the ACB received a tip-off regarding policemen, GRD, TRB, and middlemen harassing riders in rural areas of the talukas in the Mehsana district, despite having legal documents.
