Woman DSP Caught Accepting 1 Lakh Bribe

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mohali, Raka Gira arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) on charges of demanding and accepting bribe worth Rs 1 lakh from a builder for settling his case on Sunday.

CBI also carried out search and seizure operations at Gira’s palatial 2-kanal house in Sector 15 of Chandigarh.

The agency laid a trap after a Mullanpur-based builder K K Malhotra filed a complaint against Gira and arrested her after they found the marked currency at her residence.

CBI has registered a case against Gira on charges of demanding and accepting illegal gratification and booked her under the provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act.

The search yielded around Rs 1.2 crore in cash, stashed in various boxes in different parts of the house and jewellery worth lakhs of rupees. Also, the CBI found fixed deposits worth Rs 75 lakh and other expensive artefacts.
