Delhi Police head constables apprehended by CBI for bribery, dramatic chase ensues

Two head constables of the Delhi Police were arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation on bribery charges.

CBI officials were forced into a high-stakes chase, after one of the accused attempted to flee the scene, only to end up being overpowered by their chasers.

The constables, identified as Bhim and Akshay, are being accused by the central agency of soliciting a bribe from an e-rickshaw driver.


According to reports, they were demanding illicit payments from e-rickshaw drivers in exchange for allowing them to charge and park their vehicle in the Mangolpuri area.

Both constables are currently serving at the Mangolpuri Police Station.

The CBI received a complaint on July 10, lodged by an e-rickshaw charging shop operator located at LSC Market, K Block in Mangolpuri. According to the complaint, on July 7, Head Constable Bhim from the Mangolpuri police station threatened the complainant, attempting to disrupt their business operations, confiscate e-rickshaws, and demanding a bribe of Rs 50,000 in exchange for granting permission to park and charge e-rickshaws in front of the shop.

Acting swiftly, the CBI caught the accused red-handed while accepting the bribe. The entire incident was captured on CCTV footage from a camera installed outside the police station, providing concrete evidence of the illicit activity.
