CBI Arrests Two Delhi Police Head Constables in Bribery Case

New Delhi, March 14, 2026 – The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has apprehended two head constables from Sultanpuri Police Station in Delhi for allegedly demanding and accepting a ₹20,000 bribe, officials confirmed in a press release on March 14.

Complaint Leads to Case Registration

The case was registered on March 13 after the CBI received a complaint alleging that the officers sought an illegal payment in exchange for allowing the complainant to continue online betting activities without interference. The agency described the amount as “illegal gratification,” a term commonly used in corruption investigations involving public officials.

Trap Operation and Arrest

The CBI conducted a trap operation on March 13, catching both officers red-handed while allegedly accepting the bribe. Following the operation, the two head constables were immediately arrested and taken into custody. Their identities were not disclosed in the press release, though they are confirmed to be attached to Sultanpuri Police Station.

Ongoing Investigation and Public Advisory

The agency stated that further investigations are underway to determine the extent of the alleged misconduct and whether additional personnel were involved. The CBI also urged citizens to report any demands for bribes by public officials through official channels or by contacting the agency’s New Delhi office.

“These arrests demonstrate the agency’s continued commitment to curbing corruption and upholding accountability among public servants,” the press release added.
