CBI made 3 attempts at trap laid to arrest Delhi Police EoW official while taking bribe

New Delhi: It took three attempts on as many days by the CBI to nab the sub inspector attached to the Delhi Police's Economic Offences Wing who demanded Rs 30 lakh as bribe to relax a case against the complainant, officials said Friday. The perseverance of the CBI team finally paid on Thursday when Sanjeev Kumar, a sub-inspector with the EOW, was arrested by the agency's team while allegedly receiving Rs four lakh as part payment of the total Rs 30 lakh bribe demanded by him, they said.

"The sub inspector demanded a bribe to settle the complaint as well as in lieu of the favour extended in a

previous case in which the complainant was an accused," CBI Spokesperson RK Gaur said Friday.
