The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) of Delhi Police for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 2.4 lakh from a litigant involved in a property dispute at Karkardooma Court in east Delhi.
The accused, identified as ASI Patil Kumar, was posted at Jyoti Nagar Police Station. According to officials, he initially demanded Rs 15 lakh from the complainant to provide a favourable verification report in court regarding a property in Meet Nagar. When the complainant refused to pay the full amount, Kumar allegedly threatened to submit an adverse report.
After negotiations, the bribe amount was reduced, and the CBI laid a trap on Sunday. The officer was caught red-handed while accepting Rs 2.4 lakh as part payment of the demanded bribe.
In a separate case, the CBI also registered a case of disproportionate assets against former NHAI Project Director and General Manager, Arvind R. Kale. The FIR, filed on October 30, accuses Kale of possessing assets worth Rs 1.56 crore, nearly 179 percent more than his known income, between April 2022 and March 2024.
Kale, who served as Project Director-cum-GM of Project Implementation Unit, Nagpur, allegedly amassed wealth beyond his legitimate earnings. The CBI has charged him under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, for illicit enrichment and abetment.
