What is the whole matter?
9 December 2020 was the occasion of ‘Anti Corruption Day’ when the DSP of ACB said in his speech that taking and giving bribe is both a crime. If someone asks for bribe, a complaint can be made by calling 1064. This ACB officer taught awareness to the common people against corruption but an hour later he himself was caught taking bribe. Actually, DSP Bherulal used to take a monthly bribe of 80 thousand rupees from Sawai Madhopur DTO Mahesh Chand. Troubled by this, Mahesh complained about this to the ACB headquarters. On the complaint of the DTO, the Jaipur ACB team took action and raided the bungalow of DSP Bherulal. When he was taking a bribe of 80 thousand rupees, the Jaipur ACB team reached there and caught him red handed. In this way, the officer who gave a statement against bribe was himself caught taking bribe.
