A police sub-inspector was caught while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 40,000 from a man to register a case of theft at Agthala in Banaskantha district, an official said on Wednesday.
A team of the Anti-Corruption Bureau on Tuesday caught B K Goswami while accepting the bribe amount from a dealer of cattle medicine, who had approached him to register an FIR against one of his employees for stealing products, the official said.
The man had approached the Agthala police station two months ago with a complaint against one of his employees and despite repeated requests, the accused policeman had refused to register a case, he said.
When he approached him again a few days ago, Goswami demanded Rs 40,000 and was caught accepting the amount, he added.
A case has been registered against the accused policeman under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, the official said.
