There are many honest and really hardworking policemen serving the nation. We all must respect them for their service. On the other hand, there are some guys who actually misuse their powers and land common people in trouble.
We often come across some police and traffic inspectors to be corrupt and bribe lovers who are always keen on taking money from people outside the salary government give them every month.
For instance, if anyone is caught without a helmet, insurance paper or any necessary thing that a person should carry while driving, then they just take some money as the bribe and leave that person without having to make him pay a genuine fine.
Here is the perfect example for this scenario. A video of a traffic cop in Hyderabad Caught Red-handedly taking a bribe has gone viral on social media.
The video was posted by Sridhar Vemula — a resident of Hyderabad — to the Hyderabad Traffic Police’s Facebook page on March 17. The video puts the spotlight on the police officer as he reaches an agreement with a two-wheeler rider. Pocketing a few notes from the commuter, he lets the man go away.
Watch The Video Here:
In the video, the policeman is seen talking to the owner of a two-wheeler, before they seemingly strike a deal. He then takes some money from the commuter and pockets it, even as a few other policemen are seen standing in the background. The commuter then drives away.
After the video got thousands of shares, the police department responded on March 20, saying: “He is being removed from Traffic Department and disciplinary action will be taken as per rule.”
This comes just a day after an incident of alleged high-handedness by the police went viral on social media.
