Haryana: Female SI who was honoured on Republic Day for 'honesty' caught accepting Rs 5,000 bribe

A female sub-inspector (SI) of the Haryana Police was apprehended for accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000 from a woman in Bhiwani. 

Munni Devi, the sub-inspector in question, was stationed at the Bawani Khera police station in the district.

The sub-inspector was functioning as an investigative officer in the case of the woman's recovery. She allegedly demanded a payment of Rs 5,000 from the woman, who filed a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Bureau. The ACB formed a squad and set up a trap to apprehend the sub-inspector.

A video of a sub-inspector being caught red-handed has gone viral since then.

कल हिसार एवं भवानी विजिलेस विभाग की संयुक्त टीम ने बवानीखेड़ा की महिला सब इंस्पेक्टर मुन्नी देवी को भिवानी लघु सचिवालय में 5 हजार रुपए रिश्वत लेते किया गिरफ़्तार। विदित हो कि, ये वही महिला एसआई हैं जिसे गणतंत्र दिवस पर उनके बेहतर काम और ईमानदारी के लिए सम्मानित किया गया था। pic.twitter.com/lzofLm1guk
