With the lockdown in place, many are facing challenges when it comes to going about their daily activities. To make matters worse, in a country like India, it's not uncommon to run into a?few corrupt authorities.?
Recently, two constables from Hyderabad police were reportedly?placed under suspension after a video of them allegedly taking a bribe from a fruit vendor became public.?
The video was vastly shared on social media in which a man who is allegedly a fruit vendor can be seen handing over some cash to a policeman while the other one waits on a bike. Reports have said that the man was transporting goods and the policemen allegedly demanded money from him to allow him to do the same.
In the video, one of the policemen can be seen inspecting the vendor's phone, probably to confirm whether he was being filmed or not. Then, the vendor hands over some cash to the constable after which he joins his peer on the bike and leaves the scene.?
Still unclear about when the incident took place, the video seems like it was shot from the top of a building where the exchange happened.
Once the video went viral on social media, Hyderabad Police took matters into their hands and began an inquiry.?
According to an ANI report, the two constables PC Pancha Mukesh and PC Suresh from Afzalgunj police station were suspended by Hyderabad Commissioner of Police Anjani Kumar. A charge memo was also sent to the Station House Officer of the police station.
Wrong deeds clearly do not stay hidden for long.
