Friday, 17 April 2026, 10:20 · 1 min read

India's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested a Prohibition and Excise Inspector in Kamareddy district, Telangana (a southern Indian state), on Friday while he was allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹2 lakh (approximately $2,400). The officer, Deenu Satyanarayana, posted in the town of Bichkunda, was caught at his rented residence taking the payment from a complainant in exchange for agreeing not to pressure toddy shop owners to relocate and to refrain from registering cases against them. The arrest highlights ongoing efforts by anti-corruption authorities to crack down on officials who exploit regulatory powers for personal gain.
