The Gurugram Anti-Corruption Bureau has apprehended two police officers, including a female sub-inspector, for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 25,000, officials disclosed on Monday.

According to the ACB, the bribery incident transpired following a dispute between two parties at the Sector 53 police station.
