The Punjab Vigilance Bureau (VB) arrested Constable Adarshdeep Singh, stationed at CIA-2 Staff, Amritsar, on Tuesday for demanding a Rs. 60,000 bribe as part of its anti-corruption drive.
A VB spokesperson revealed that the arrest followed a complaint filed by an Amritsar resident through the Chief Minister’s Anti-Corruption Action Line. The complainant alleged that Constable Adarshdeep demanded Rs. 60,000 to refrain from filing a baseless FIR against his neighbor, Kishan Kumar. The complainant noted that Kishan Kumar, a former drug peddler, had reformed and now works as a private security guard. Despite a raid by CIA-2 personnel at Kumar’s residence yielding no illegal findings, the accused constable had already extorted Rs. 50,000 and was pressing for the remaining amount.

The accused was arrested and is scheduled to appear in court tomorrow. The investigation remains ongoing.
