On Tuesday, the vigilance bureau (VB) arrested inspector Gurjeet Singh, the station house officer at Division Number 4 police station in Ludhiana, Punjab, for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹30,000. The arrest was prompted by a complaint from a resident of Noorwala Road, whose son had been detained for allegedly acting as a courier in an Indian Premier League (IPL) betting syndicate. The complainant reported that Singh demanded ₹35,000 to return her son's confiscated gold ring and silver bracelet. She recorded the conversation where the bribe was solicited and subsequently approached the vigilance bureau, which verified her complaint. A trap was set, leading to Singh's arrest while accepting the bribe in the presence of two official witnesses. The VB has registered a case against Singh under the Prevention of Corruption Act, and further investigations are ongoing.
