  "summary": "Four individuals, including a former Crime Branch inspector and a constable, have been booked by the Lokayukta in Indore for allegedly demanding a Rs 1.2 lakh bribe to settle a complaint against a woman's son. The accused are former Crime Branch inspector Sujeet Srivastava, constable Vikas Sendhav, private driver Abhay Singh, and private individual Deepak Patel. The alleged scheme came to light when a resident, Preeti Hajari, filed a complaint alleging that she was asked to transfer Rs 50,800 through UPI to Deepak Patel at the Crime Branch office at Regal Square to drop the complaint against her son, Pranjal Hajari. The case was registered under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act and Section 61(2) of the Bombay Prevention of Corruption Act (BNS). Further investigation is underway.",
