The Central Bureau of Investigation(CBI) has arrested an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) posted in anti-narcotics wing of Delhi Police for allegedly receiving Rs 7.89 lakh bribe from an accused under probe, a case in which role of an assistant commissioner of police is also under scanner.
The agency has arrested ASI Dushyant Gautam for allegedly accepting the bribe on the instructions of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Brijpal, who is also posted in anti-narcotics wing, officials said.
