The accused sub-inspector Amar Chand, posted at the Bhag-e-Bahu police station, was arrested by the SVO sleuths yesterday while he was accepting the bribe from a complainant to release the documents.
The SVO Jammu, with the help of the complainant, laid a trap and arrested the accused, the SVO spokesman said.
