A police sub-inspector from Trombay police station was arrested for bribing, blackmailing and assaulting an accused charged in a kidnapping and rape case. When the officer learnt that the accused approached the Anti- Corruption Bureau (ACB) with complaints against him, he slapped him twice.

Police said the inspector, Ganesh Adsool, had asked accused Amol Avghade (19) for a bribe to grant him leniency in his case. Post-release, he was asked to report to the police station every Friday and Sunday. On Friday, when Avghade arrived at the police station, Adsool allegedly demanded a bribe, after which Avghade reported it to the ACB.
