The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) recently arrested a sub-inspector, attached to the Charkop police station, for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 40,000 along with a bottle of whiskey. The officer accepted Rs 20,000 of the demanded amount, an ACB official said.

According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the officer, identified as Bharat Dhembre (39), had sought bribe to return the complainant's mobile phone and not include his father's name in a criminal offence. The complainant's firm had got a Clean-Up Marshal contract from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to levy fines against those found without masks.
