CBI Cracks Down on Bribery in Tis Hazari Court

The CBI arrested a court reader from Tis Hazari in an alleged bribery case, accusing him of soliciting a Rs 30,000 bribe to facilitate a bail application. A sting operation caught him accepting Rs 20,000 of the bribe, leading to his arrest.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) made a significant arrest at the Tis Hazari Court complex on Thursday, apprehending a reader from the court of an Additional Sessions Judge on charges of bribery.

The individual allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 30,000 from a lawyer, promising to expedite the bail allowance of her client. Following a complaint lodged against the individual, the CBI set up a sting operation.

Officials caught the accused red-handed, accepting Rs 20,000, a portion of the total requested bribe. This operation underscores the CBI's ongoing efforts to eliminate corruption within the judicial system.
