The anti-corruption bureau of Maharashtra police today sealed the Nanded residence of G Vijay Krishnan Yadav, a probationary IPS officer who has been named in a case of bribery.
Yadav, posted as probationary Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) at Nanded, around 550 km from Mumbai, allegedly demanded Rs 3 lakh from a man to 'dilute' a case of theft. The man lodged a complaint with the ACB, which laid a trap and caught Yadav's aide Sunny Singh Bugai (34) while accepting Rs 1 lakh on Monday. Bugai was placed under arrest.
The 2015-batch IPS officer and his aide had earlier accepted Rs 1 lakh, the ACB said. An offence of theft had been registered against the 34-year-old complainant at Tivasa Police Station. Yadav and Bugai allegedly demanded money from the complainant for not arresting him and diluting the charges against him.
