4 traffic cops in soup after sting op shows them taking bribe

Delhi Police's Vigilance Branch has booked four traffic cops after a sting operation allegedly showed them taking a bribe from the driver of a commercial vehicle.
The sting operation, which was carried out by a Delhi resident, shows three traffic constables, identified as Rajesh, Yashvir and Krishan from Nangloi, along with head constable Subhash, taking a bribe while they were at their post near Zakhira Rampura metro station.
According to police, various cases under the Prevention of Corruption Act were registered against these traffic cops on Oct. 7.
"The constables have been sent to police lines and the vigilance branch is further investigating the cases," said Special Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Muktesh Chander.

In other case, police has registered a case against some persons who were running an illegal parking zone at Gandhi Nagar.
Chander said that the East Delhi Municipal Corporation had on Sept. 17 cancelled a parking area on Gandhi Nagar Pushta but some people were found to be arranging for parking there for a fee of Rs 50.

"Following a tip-off, a police team raided the spot and found some persons charging parking fee despite EDMC's cancellation of the parking facility. When police reached the spot, the parking boys fled. But one person, identified as Chhotu Kumar Jha, was caught with a bunch of keys," Chander added.

He said that 32 cars at the spot were challaned for unauthorised parking and a case under Section 420/419/34 IPC was registered against the parking persons.
He added that some notices which were put up at the site to tell people that the parking in the area had been cancelled were also removed by the accused.
