On Sunday, the CBI arrested a Delhi Police constable and an Advocate for demanding a bribe of Rs 1 lakh in lieu of dropping a case against an accused.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Sanjay Bhatia said that "The arrested havildar's name is Satya Narayan and the lawyer's name is Soni. They were demanding a bribe of Rs one lakh from a person. The person who complained to the CBI was actually an accused in a case of jewellery theft and the case was registered at the Prasad Nagar police station".
According to Mr Bhatia, a case of theft was registered (FIR number 21) at Prasad Nagar police station on Jan 22, 2020. The FIR mentioned that gold jewellery had been stolen and Satya Narayan was investigating this case. Narayan was seeking Rs one lakh from the accused through a lawyer to 'settle' the case. The suspect then lodged a complaint against Narayan with the CBI.
The Police said that "On Saturday, the CBI team first arrested the lawyer. During the night, Havildar Satya Narayan, who was posted at the Prasad Nagar police station, was also arrested. A departmental inquiry has been ordered against the accused Havildar. Based on this inquiry and the documents received from the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Delhi Police will take further legal action against the accused Havildar".
