JAIPUR: Two police personnel were arrested for allegedly taking bribes on Saturday in Rajasthan’s Kotputli-Behror district, officials said.
According to the Director General Anti Corruption Bureau Ravi Prakash Mehrda, the Station House Officer of Behror Rajesh Kumar and a sub-inspector and constable Ajeet Singh were seen demanding an iPhone and Rs 15,000 in cash from a complainant.
