City SP Shivdeep Lande arrests Moradabad Police Inspector over Bribery

Patna: City SP of Patna, Shivdeep Lande today arrested a visiting Inspector of Moradabad Police on charges of bribery in broad daylight at Dak Bungalow Chowraha of the city. However, the inspector was let off after interrogation.

As per TV reports, a Police Inspector of Moradabad Crime Branch, was in the city in connection to a Forgery case dating 2012. He allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 10000 from a local shop owner in return of providing clean-chit in the case.

A SIM Card sold by the shop owner was used in a forgery incident in 2012 in Moradabad. The two brothers, who operate the shop, alleged that despite their cooperation in the case, the visiting Police Inspector threatened them to put them behind bars, if they did not heed to his demand of bribe.

The shop owner had complained Shivdeep about the bribe demand on Saturday night. On Sunday morning, when the Police Inspector came to receive the bribe amount, he was caught by the City SP Lande, who was present at the location but dressed as a common man, wearing a chunri.

The entire incident was caught in camera.

However, the Police Inspector who was arrested and later released claimed that he was innocent and did not demand any bribe. TV reports say that he was released due to lack of any evidence against him.
