**Headline:** Dramatic Bribery Arrest of Delhi Assistant Sub-Inspector Unfolds
In a shocking incident in Delhi, an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) was apprehended while accepting a bribe, resulting in a chaotic scene as he attempted to evade arrest by throwing cash into the air. The incident occurred at the Hauz Quazi Police Station, where ASI Rakesh Kumar was caught red-handed after a trap was set by the Delhi Police.
The complainant, a resident of the Bazar Sitaram area, had reported ASI Kumar’s demands for a bribe of Rs 15,000 to avoid being falsely implicated in a case. On September 9, 2025, he approached the Vigilance Branch with a written complaint detailing the ASI’s actions. Following instructions from the Vigilance team, the complainant was directed to bring the bribe to the police station at 12:30 PM.
Upon entering the station with the cash, which consisted of 30 notes of Rs 500, the complainant signaled the Vigilance team as ASI Kumar approached. Once the bribe was accepted, the team moved in to make the arrest. In a desperate attempt to escape, ASI Kumar threw the cash into the air, prompting bystanders to rush forward to grab the floating notes. While some managed to flee with approximately Rs 5,000, the Vigilance officials quickly regained control of the situation and recovered Rs 10,000 from the scene.
Following the incident, ASI Kumar was arrested, and a case was filed against him under the Prevention of Corruption Act. He is expected to be presented in the Rouse Avenue District Court. Authorities have urged citizens to report any instances of police personnel soliciting bribes, emphasizing the importance of transparency and accountability within law enforcement.
