NEW DELHI: A Delhi Police constable has been arrested for allegedly demanding and receiving a bribe from a contractor.

The complainant claimed that he had paid Rs.90,000 to the constable who was demanding another Rs.27,000. The ACB sleuths found the facts true and allegedly arrested Constable Sukhbir Singh red-handed.
