CBI arrests NCB Officials taking bribe of Rs. 1.5 Lakhs
The Central Bureau of Investigation yesterday arrested an Inspector and a Sub Inspector of Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN), working in the office of Dy. Narcotics Commissioner, Lucknow, for demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs. 1.5 lakhs.
A complaint was lodged with CBI to the effect that the accused officials demanded a bribe of Rs. 2 lakhs for ensuring the bail of complainant's elder brother in a case under investigation at CBN, Lucknow and also not to falsely implicate his elder brother's son in the case.
The accused persons asked the complainant to come to Mahanagar Crossing in Lucknow and made him sit in the vehicle being driven by one of the accused officers and the bribe was transacted with precaution to dodge the CBI team. CBI laid a trap and both the accused were caught red handed while accepting the bribe of Rs. 1.5 lakhs.
These Drug officers can ruin somebody's life by just planting some drugs and so naturally the rates of bribe are quite high.
