Police Officer at the Rank of Head Constable in Delhi Apprehended for Allegations of Corruption
Looks like one of the boys in blue stepped out of line in the capital city. Gajendra Singh, a head constable in the Delhi Police, was recently apprehended for his involvement in a bribery scandal.
Posted at Police Station Jaffarpur Kalan in Dwarka District, Singh reportedly demanded ₹25,000 from a local resident to allow construction on his private land. According to officials, this shady deal went down on April 4, but our sir-in-blue thought he could make a run for it. The vigilance unit had set up a trap for him, but Singh tried to make a hasty escape, injuring an officer in the process.
Following this brush with the law, Singh was immediately slapped with charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. As if that wasn't bad enough, his anticipatory bail plea was rejected by the Rouse Avenue Court.
The Delhi Police have been on the hunt for Singh for weeks, and on April 25, the vigilance unit finally nabbed him. Singh is currently in police custody to recover the tainted money and aid in further investigation.
The police department urges citizens to report any misuse of authority by its personnel. They assure complainants that their identities will be kept confidential, and those found guilty will face severe consequences.
