The Gujarat Anti-Corruption Bureau caught a police sub-inspector and a head constable at Bopal Police Station in Ahmedabad Rural for accepting a Rs five lakh bribe to avoid pursuing a complaint. Initially demanding Rs 10 lakh, the officers settled for Rs five lakh after negotiations. The head constable accepted the bribe during a trap set up by the Kheda ACB team with panch witnesses.
