VB arrests SHO, 2 constables in bribe case

Chandigarh, May 28 (UNI) The Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) on Tuesday arrested the SHO of
Cyber Crime Police Station, Fazilka, along with three other police personnel, for accepting a bribe of
Rs 1 lakh in a case involving a minor's confiscated phone.
AAP Minister Harpal Singh Cheema, reiterated the government's zero-tolerance policy against corruption, stating, “No matter the level of the official, be it a Minister, MLA, IAS/PCS officer or any government employee, anyone found indulging in corruption will face strict legal action.”
The case came to light when Dharminder Singh, father of 17-year-old Dilraj Singh, approached the Chief Minister with evidence of bribe demands by the Cyber Crime Police Station, Fazilka.
The station had confiscated the minor's phone following a Cyber Tipline complaint. Despite repeated attempts by the family to resolve the issue, they were forced to pay a bribe to settle the matter.
Cheema further commended the vigilance bureau efforts, adding, “This case highlights the firm resolve of the Punjab government to root out corruption. The prompt action in this matter demonstrates that the government is on the side of the common citizen, ensuring justice and accountability at every level.”
The arrested officials include the SHO, a Reader, and two constables. They are now in custody
and face legal proceedings.
