Bribery Scandal: Two Delhi Police Officers Arrested

The CBI arrested two Delhi Police officers in Burari for allegedly taking a Rs 10 lakh bribe to avoid implicating a complainant in a case. The officers initially demanded Rs 1.5 crore. Inspector Sandeep Ahlawat and Sub-Inspector Bhupesh Kumar were caught in a CBI trap.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested two officers of the Delhi Police on Tuesday for allegedly accepting a bribe to avoid implicating an individual in a fabricated case, sources revealed.

The accused, Inspector Sandeep Ahlawat and Sub-Inspector Bhupesh Kumar, were stationed at Burari. They are said to have demanded an exorbitant Rs 1.5 crore, the CBI says. The duo allegedly agreed to a lower amount of Rs 1 crore, with a part payment of Rs 10 lakh.

The bribery transaction was carefully monitored by the CBI, which set up a sting operation resulting in the capture of Sub-Inspector Kumar accepting the cash. Inspector Ahlawat was soon arrested thereafter, affirming CBI's commitment to rooting out corruption within law enforcement.
