2 Jharkhand policemen suspended on bribery charges

Two policemen were suspended in Jharkhand's Palamu district on Saturday on the charge of accepting bribes, a police officer said. The authorities took action against the two after they allegedly accepted Rs 2,000 as bribe from a motorcyclist who was riding without wearing a helmet, Superintendent of Police Ajay Linda said.

The helmetless biker was bribing the policemen for letting him go, and they were caught red-handed by a team of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Linda said. The incident occurred at Chenpur on Friday.
