Two cops nabbed for taking bribe

AHMEDABAD: The anti-corruption bureau (ACB) has caught two policemen for taking bribe in two separate incidents.
According to ACB officials, Kadar Jusab, a resident of Morbi, had approached ACB after a police constable repeatedly stopped his trucks by declaring them overloaded and asked for fines. Constable Babu Batiya of Viramgam police had earlier taken Rs 3,000 from Jusab.When he again demanded money to let the trucks pass, Jusab approached the ACB.
The ACB laid a trap. Accordingly, Jusab asked Batiya to meet him but the constable sent his confidant Jagdish Patel, a resident of Viramgam, to receive Rs 2,000 on Viramgam-Hansalpur road. A team led by inspector R R Trivedi caught the duo after Patel accepted money on behalf of Batiya on Monday night.
In another incident, Faridmian Malek, a resident of Nadiad, had registered a complaint against Ramesh Patel, a constable with Ramol police station. According to Malek's complaint, Patel had demanded Rs 100 not to give a memo to him. A team led by inspector A A Shaikh caught Patel with cash near Ramol crossroads on Tuesday afternoon.
