Telangana Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Wednesday night caught Keesara police station sub-inspector Gnanender Reddy red-handed while accepting Rs 5 lakh from a complainant in a PDS rice smuggling case. The ACB says the SI had demanded money to help the complainant and ensure he was not harassed further. Keesara Inspector Arkepally Anjaneyulu was also booked for alleged involvement in the demand, and both were arrested. Searches were conducted at the police station and other premises.
According to telanganatoday.com, the initial demand was Rs 8 lakh, later reduced to Rs 6 lakh, and the complainant ultimately arranged Rs 5 lakh. Siasat.com reports Inspector Anjaneyulu demanded Rs 10 lakh for granting station bail to a suspect and instructed the SI to collect the bribe, with a deal finalised for Rs 5 lakh. The complainant told the ACB that police had been harassing him over chemical tests and had earlier demanded biryani and soft drinks. The SI allegedly tried to flee but was caught. Investigation is ongoing.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources present a straightforward ACB action story with no detectable slant. Telanganatoday.com leads with the SI's arrest and the bribe amount, while Siasat.com adds the context of alleged prior harassment for biryani and soft drinks. Neither source questions the ACB's account or the complainant's version. The uniform neutral-report framing means the coverage focuses on the trap and arrests. The case will proceed in the special ACB court, where the arrested officers face judicial scrutiny.
