In Patiala district, Punjab, the vigilance bureau arrested Jaswinder Singh, an assistant sub-inspector (ASI) from Shutrana police station, for allegedly soliciting a bribe of ₹18,000. The arrest occurred on Tuesday following a complaint from a resident of Bakraha village in Patran tehsil. The complainant reported that his relatives had been injured in a clash with neighbors and were being treated at Rajindra Hospital in Patiala. After the incident was reported to the police, Singh visited the hospital to gather statements. However, he allegedly demanded ₹20,000 to start legal proceedings against the accused party but later agreed to accept ₹18,000. The vigilance bureau acted on the complaint, laying a trap that led to Singh's arrest while he was accepting the bribe, witnessed by two officials. A case has been filed against him under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and the investigation is ongoing, highlighting the vigilance bureau's commitment to combatting corruption in law enforcement.
