New Delhi: The CBI arrested an inspector and a subinspector from the Delhi Police Department for demanding bribe from a local resident.
Inspector Narendra Kumar of the Special Staff of the Rajouri Garden Police Station and ASI Trilochan Dutt have been named as the suspects.
According to a senior CBI official, the agency opened an investigation after receiving a complaint accusing Narendra Kumar and maybe others of bribery attempts.
After receiving a complaint of illegal gambling in a Jhuggi in front of the complainant's home, police conducted an investigation and made an arrest, the CBI said. When confronted by the complaint, Inspector Narendra threatened to frame him, too.
