Keesara SI in ACB net for taking ₹2 lakh bribe

A Sub-Inspector at the Keesara police station was apprehended by the Anti-Corruption Bureau on Monday for allegedly demanding and accepting a ₹2,000 bribe from a complainant. The accused, Kondareddy Srinivas, was caught in the act by ACB officials from City Range-2 while receiving the money on November 9.
