Chandigarh, November 1

The VB on Tuesday arrested Inspector Amolak Singh posted at VB’s Amritsar range office for accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000. A VB spokesperson said the Inspector had been arrested on the complaint of Prabhmesh Mohan, a resident of Amritsar.

The spokesperson said Mohan had uploaded a video on the online complaint number alleging that he and his wife, who is an employee in the MC, were arrested by the VB in a corruption case in 2021. They had been granted bail.
