Dacoit in uniform?

He owns three cars, a Scorpio, an Indica and a Getz. He is said to have purchased a flat for Rs. 50 lakhs and spent Rs. 20 lakhs on renovation. Fine, good living, nobody should complain.

But they found other interesting possessions of his - six illegal arms including a 9 mm pistol and a .32 revolver and four country-made weapons besides an illegally held knife.

And they recovered from him

seven mobile phones

150 gms of smack, and

Cash of Rs. 78,715/-

And he was caught red-handed accepting a bribe of Rs. 25,000/-

You think he is a Naxalite? A terrorist? A dacoit?

No, he was just a humble Sub- inspector in Delhi's PaschimVihar Police Station. What do you do if the fence starts eating the crop?

Anyway CBI arrested him yesterday and till 13th of August, he will be a government guest in one of the prisons under judicial custody.
