In a significant stance against corruption, the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Thursday apprehended Inspector C Sudhakar of Hyderabad's Central Crime Station (CCS) for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹3 lakh. The officer was caught red-handed following a complaint that he had initially demanded ₹15 lakh to offer an official favor.

The ACB officials acted promptly and detained Sudhakar while he was accepting the bribe amount. Upon noticing the presence of ACB personnel, Sudhakar abandoned the bag containing the illicit money and attempted to flee. However, ACB officials gave chase and apprehended him on the road, the agency confirmed.

The bribe was solicited to sway an investigation and case outcome in favor of the complainant. The improper and dishonest conduct of Inspector Sudhakar has sparked a thorough investigation into the matter, demonstrating the ACB's commitment to eradicating corruption within law enforcement.
