The Haryana State Anti-Corruption Bureau (SACB), commonly known as ACB, concluded a high-profile operation by arresting Kavita, a woman head constable stationed at the ACB’s Anti-Corruption Division office in Manesar, Gurgaon. Officials stated she demanded and accepted ₹50,000 in bribes from a local resident, Binod Verma, in exchange for removing false First Information Reports (FIRs) filed against her relatives. Verma had lodged a complaint with the ACB alleging his brother-in-law’s harassment under ACB Section 7 and Indian Penal Code Section 308(2). The ACB team executed a pre-planned entrapment operation, handing over the bribe amount to the officer during a coordinated undercover move. Verma’s complaint highlighted that the corrupt officer’s husband had pressured him to withdraw the FIRs, but Verma refused. The case was registered under both legal provisions, and the ACB urged the public to report any official exploiting their position for bribes.
An ACB official emphasized, “If any government official demands gratification, report them immediately to enable prompt action against corruption.” The bureau reiterated its commitment to dismantling graft networks, particularly within law enforcement. The entire operation adhered to procedural guidelines, and suspects’ identities remained unchanged in compliance with investigative protocols.
This arrest is part of ACB’s intensified efforts to root out corruption in Haryana’s law enforcement agencies. Details about funding sources or broader networks were not specified. Updates will follow as the investigation progresses.
