Continuing with its unprecedented crackdown on corruption in the state, sleuths of Directorate of Vigilance and Anti-Corruption apprehended a Sub Inspector while accepting bribe money in Assam’s Nagaon on April 5.

According to sources, the anti-corruption unit carried out a late-night operation during which the SI of Nagaon Police Station was caught accepting a bribe of Rs 15,000 from the complainant in exchange for releasing him from an old case that was still pending.
