ACB Nabs Police in Faridabad and Beed Bribery Stings

Overview

• On Saturday the Anti‑Corruption Bureau in Faridabad arrested Head Constable Ranbir after catching him accepting Rs 2,500 to return a financed motorcycle, following a complaint by the bike owner.
• The ACB in Beed detained Police Constable Dattatraya Sahebrao Balwant and Home Guard Rashid Dagdukha Pathan after a trap caught them taking a negotiated Rs 10,000 bribe for documents needed for an accident insurance claim.
• Investigators seized cash and mobile phones during both operations and carried out house searches while sending the seized devices for forensic examination.
• FIRs and formal case registration under the Prevention of Corruption Act are underway and the agency says the accused will be formally arrested after required legal procedures are completed.
• The cases illustrate how small, transactional bribes tied to everyday police functions prompt ACB sting tactics and could affect public trust in frontline policing if prosecutions proceed.
