Surat: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) has nabbed PSI M.G. Limbola of Sarthana Police Station for allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹40,000.

According to details, a criminal case had been registered at Sarthana Police Station against the complainant’s maternal aunt’s son and his friend. PSI M.G. Limbola was investigating the case. During the course of the investigation, the officer allegedly demanded ₹40,000 from the complainant to avoid assaulting the accused and to facilitate their early release on bail.
