The Cherambadi Police Inspector was arrested by the Directorate Vigilance and Anti-Corruption (DVAC) personnel for demanding a bribe of ₹10,000 from the owner of a lorry transporting M-sand into the State on Tuesday.
The accused Anandavelu, 50, had allegedly demanded ₹40,000 from the owner of a fleet of lorries in Nilambur in Kerala, failing which he threatened to seize the lorries and prevent them from entering Tamil Nadu, where they were delivering freight and sand.
The complainant is said to have agreed to pay ₹10,000 to Anandavelu, following which he approached the DVAC police with a complaint. DVAC officials, led by Tirupur DSP, Dakshinamurthy, laid a trap and arrested Anandavelu while he was accepting the bribe from the complainant at the Cherambadi police station.
