ACB Arrests Police Officer for Demanding Bribe in Suicide Case

G. Ramesh, a Sub-Inspector at the Bazarhathnoor police station in Adilabad district, was caught accepting a bribe of ₹40,000 from a complainant. The incident occurred in connection with the suicide of an unmarried woman. The ACB reported that Ramesh had initially asked for ₹50,000 but later reduced the demand to ₹40,000 after the complainant lowered it. During a trap operation on November 4, Ramesh instructed the complainant to place the money beneath centring boxes at a construction site. Upon receiving the money, the ACB arrested him. The bureau stated that Ramesh misused his official position to obtain undue advantage. He was taken into custody and will be produced before the Special Judge for SPE and ACB cases in Karimnagar for judicial remand. The case is currently under investigation, with the complainant's identity being withheld for security reasons.
