Mirzapur: In an unusual turn of events from Mirzapur, Uttar Pradesh, a video has emerged showing a police officer being apprehended right outside the premises of Chilh Police Station.
The officer in question, SHO Shivshankar Singh, was caught in the act of accepting a bribe by a team from the Anti-Corruption Department. The operation was led by District Anti-Corruption Officer Vinay Singh, according to a report by Amar Ujala.
How did the incident unfold?
The moment the station in-charge allegedly demanded a bribe from a complainant, Anti-Corruption officers stormed into his office and caught him in the act. Singh was accused of accepting Rs 30,000 in bribe and was immediately taken into custody.
A video of the dramatic arrest has since gone viral, showing several Anti-Corruption officials surrounding the SHO and attempting to escort him to their vehicle.
However, Singh resisted getting inside, repeatedly pleading, "Listen to me, hold on a minute... I'm not going." Despite his reluctance, the team eventually managed to get him into the vehicle after much effort.
Have a look:
This incident comes after the suspension of Sub-Inspector Surendra Kumar from Jigna Police Station. Kumar was suspended by Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Somendra Verma after a video of him soliciting a bribe and making disrespectful remarks about other senior officials surfaced on the internet.
