ACB arrests SI after he accepts bribe in Medak

 Anti-Corruption Bureau officials chased down a Sub-Inspector, Rajesh of the Tekmal police station, after he attempted to flee moments after accepting a bribe at Tekmal mandal headquarters on Tuesday.

The action followed a complaint from a resident who said the SI had demanded Rs 20000 from him.

As the SI received the money, ACB personnel reached the spot, prompting



Rajesh to run into nearby agricultural fields. 

Officials pursued him for nearly 500 metres before catching him. A large crowd gathered as the chase unfolded.

Villagers in Tekmal burst crackers at several places to celebrate the arrest, alleging that the SI had harassed them over minor issues. The ACB later took Rajesh to the police station. Further investigation is under way.
