NEW DELHI: A sub-inspector posted at north Delhi’s Maurice Nagar police station was caught red-handed by the Central Bureau of Investigation while asking for a bribe from a complainant on Wednesday.

The sub-inspector, identified as Nirmal Singh, was in the operations cell of Delhi Police. He was demanding an amount of Rs 70,000 from a man for not arresting him. He had told the man that if he pays the amount he would not get into trouble. The agency produced him before court which remanded him in CBI custody for two days. The department is investigating the matter and trying to find out if he asked for bribe in the past.
