Anand Bhoir
MUMBAI: A police inspector dismissed from service after being caught by the state Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) while accepting a bribe of Rs 22 lakh in 2019 was reinstated two months ago, despite objections from the commissioner of police.
The reinstatement move began in 2019, when the BJP-Sena government was in power, but was put on the backburner following objections. Finally, in May this year, the current MVA government gave the go-ahead for his reinstatement.
On January 1, 2019, police inspector Anand Bhoir, who was then attached to the crime branch, was arrested for allegedly accepting Rs 22 lakh from Ashok Patel, a liquor shop owner in Fort.
