Patna, 3 January. In a strong move against corruption, the Vigilance Department of Bihar arrested a sub-inspector from Akbarpur Police Station in Nawada district on Friday for accepting a bribe of Rs 25,000.
The accused was caught red-handed in a carefully planned trap.
The case began with a complaint lodged by Vikas Kumar, a resident of Warisali Ganj in Nawada, at the Vigilance Department headquarters in Patna.
In his complaint, Vikas Kumar alleged that Sub-Inspector Pramod Kumar was demanding money to settle a case.
After verifying the complaint and finding it valid, the Vigilance Department formed a special team led by DSP Gautam Krishna.
The team went to Nawada and set a trap to catch the accused.
When the complainant handed over the bribe amount of Rs 25,000 to Sub-Inspector Pramod Kumar, the vigilance team immediately intervened and arrested him on the spot.
The arrested sub-inspector was taken to Patna and will be produced before the Vigilance Special Court.
This arrest strengthens the state government’s zero-tolerance policy against corruption.
Vigilance officials stated that action will continue against any officer misusing their position for personal gain.
Earlier, on 23 December 2025, a sub-inspector posted in Siwan district was caught red-handed taking a bribe of Rs 40,000.
The arrested officer was identified as Kanhaiya Kumar Singh, posted at Siwan Police Station.
