Mumbai: ACB arrests corrupt cop for taking bribe


A Sub-inspector of the Shivaji Nagar police was caught red-handed while taking a bribe of Rs 4,000 from a woman, who wanted action to be taken against her sister's husband and in-laws in a dowry harassment case.


According to the Anti-Corruption Bureau, police sub-inspector Jalinder Babaso Misal, 57, had been allegedly harassing the family of a woman (name withheld) for bribe. The woman's sister had filed a dowry harassment complaint against her husband and in-laws a few months ago. But, Misal had been demanding money to file the case. He had already taken Rs 10,000 from her for the same, an ACB official said. Recently, when Misal demanded more money, she decided to teach him a lesson.
