The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Thursday registered an offence against a senior police inspector for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 2 lakh from a history-sheeter in order to not book him under a stringent law of the Maharashtra Prevention of Dangerous Activities of Slumlords, Bootleggers, Drug Offenders and Dangerous Persons Act (MPDA).

A senior ACB official said the senior inspector of JJ Marg police station Shirish Murlidhar Gaikwad had demanded Rs 2 lakh as a bribe from Imran 'Kutta' alias Imran 'Kalia', a dreaded criminal in the area.
