A Sub-Inspector of Police was today arrested by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption wing here while allegedly accepting Rs 4000 as bribe from two persons for freeing them from a petty case.
Salem Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Deputy Superintendent of Police Chandramouli said a petty case was registered in May against two persons by the sub-inspector of Kitchipalyam station, M Rajendran. He demanded Rs 2000 each so that he could free them in the police station itself, the DSP said.
