Lokayukta Police in Koppal arrest two constables for demanding bribe to help get bail
Koppal: Two constables of the Civil Rights Enforcement Directorate Police Station here were held by the Lokayukta officials while taking a bribe, allegedly to help a man connected with a caste abuse case get bail.
The arrested constables are identified as Maruthi Byali and Chandalinga, who are said to have demanded Rs 60,000 to ensure that the accused in the caste abuse case, Mehboob Pasha, is granted bail. Pasha reportedly approached the Lokayukta, who registered a case and, after probing the matter, arrested the constable duo while they were accepting the bribe from Pasha.
The arrested constables are learned to have preferred digital payment rather than taking hard cash. While Chandalinga asked Pasha to transfer Rs 15,000 to a third party’s account, Byali asked for Rs 3,000 to be credited to a ‘paan’ shop owner’s account.
Lokayukta Deputy Superintendent of Police Lokesh reportedly led the operation; inspectors Sunil, Chandrappa and Shaila Pyatishettar and constables raided the police station and held the accused duo.
Further investigation is underway.
