Bengaluru woman police officer arrested for taking Rs 1.25 lakh bribe to file false report in assault case
A woman sub-inspector of police was arrested by the Karnataka Lokayukta police Monday in Bengaluru while allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 1.25 lakh to close a report against a man facing charges of assaulting his partner. Savithri Bai, a sub-Inspector posted with the Govindapura station of Bengaluru city, reportedly demanded a bribe of Rs 1.25 lakh to file a B report in a case where the complainant, Mohammed Younus, was accused of assault or criminal force against a woman with the intent of outraging her modesty. A B report indicates that the police have found the allegations to be false or lacking sufficient evidence. After Younus lodged a complaint, the Lokayukta police set a trap and caught Bai while she was accepting the bribe. According to the police, Younus was in love with a woman for four years, and was in a live-in relationship with her. They decided to get married; however, the woman found out that Younus was having an affair with another woman. When she confronted Younus, he reportedly assaulted her. The woman filed a complaint against Younus at the K G Halli Police Station, and the case is in the trial stage in court. On May 5, Younus called the woman to HBR Layout to talk about the issue, and demanded that she withdraw the police complaint she had filed against him. When the woman refused to do so, he allegedly assaulted her. She managed to reach the hospital with the help of locals. After she recovered, the woman filed another case against him at the Govindapura Police Station. The police took him into custody, and questioned him. Meantime, Bai reportedly offered Younus that she would file a B report in the court if he paid her a bribe of Rs 1.25 lakh. However, Younus filed a complaint before the Lokayukta police against Bai.
