After ASI, constable arrested in ₹1.15-lakh graft case in Panchkula
Just four days after an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) from the Cybercrime police station, Mansa Devi Complex, was arrested in a ₹1.15 lakh bribe case, the state vigilance and anti-corruption bureau (ACB), Panchkula, has apprehended a constable from the same police station for his involvement in the crime. A private sanitary trading businessman had approached the ACB, alleging that ASI Singh was demanding a bribe to close a complaint against him. (HT photo for representation) The ACB stated that constable Pradeep Kumar was arrested after sufficient evidence implicating him was uncovered during the ongoing investigation. Authorities revealed that their probe indicated Pradeep conspired with ASI Jasbir Singh, actively demanding and pressuring the complainant for the bribe. Previously, on Tuesday, the ACB had arrested ASI Jasbir Singh red-handed while he was allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹1.15 lakh. He was subsequently booked under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act. A private sanitary trading businessman had approached the ACB, alleging that ASI Singh was demanding a bribe to close a complaint against him. The complainant had initially taken a gold loan in February 2024. To repay this loan, he contacted Cash Your Gold Company in Sector 20, Panchkula, which transferred ₹5.65 lakh to his account via RTGS. The understanding was that the complainant would retrieve the loaned gold and deliver it to Cash Your Gold Company. However, the firm later filed a complaint with the Cybercrime police station in Gurugram, accusing the businessman of failing to return either the gold or the money. This led to the Gurugram police freezing his bank account, along with those of his creditors. The complaint was then transferred to Panchkula, where ASI Jasbir Singh allegedly demanded a bribe to unfreeze the complainant's bank account. While the initial demand was reportedly ₹2.5 lakh, the ASI later settled for ₹1.15 lakh after negotiations, prompting the complainant to approach the ACB.

Cybercrime ASI caught red-handed raking Rs 1L bribe in Panchkula
1 2 Panchkula : The state vigilance and anti-corruption bureau (ACB) on Tuesday arrested assistant sub-inspector Jasbir Singh, an investigating officer at the cybercrime police station, Mansa Devi Complex, while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 1,15,000 in cash from a complainant. According to the ACB, the complainant, who is engaged in private sanitary trading, had earlier taken a gold loan by pledging his gold with Muthoot Finance Company in Feb 2024. To repay the loan, he contacted Cash Your Gold Company in Sector 20, Panchkula, and on June 12, 2024, the company transferred Rs 5,65,000 to his bank account via RTGS. In return, he was expected to retrieve the pledged gold from Muthoot Finance and hand it over to the company. However, Cash Your Gold Company later filed a complaint against him at the cyber police station in Gurugram, alleging non-compliance. Following this, the complainant began receiving calls from Gurugram police, demanding either the return of the money or the gold. Subsequently, the police froze his and his associates' bank accounts, suspecting that the transferred Rs 5,65,000 had been moved into known persons' accounts. The case was later transferred to the cybercrime police station at Mansa Devi Complex, where ASI Jasbir Singh was assigned to verify the complaint. Although Singh assisted in unfreezing the complainant's bank account, he allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 2,50,000 in exchange for closing the case. After repeated requests from the complainant to reduce the amount, the officer agreed to accept Rs 1,15,000. Acting on the complaint, the bureau laid a trap and caught the ASI red-handed while accepting the bribe. A case has been registered against him under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
