Bassi further said people can make a video or an audio of such policeman who demand bribe and then approach the vigilance department by calling up 9910641064 or the anti-corruption helpline number 1064. Delhi Police have also issued a circular to their officers on duties and procedures to follow if they get calls of any unauthorised construction. ‘There is no inherent authority with police officials to stop any unauthorised construction without the prior permission of the civic agency,’
