According to the available information, ACB sleuths nabbed Sub Inspector Ramesh at the police station premises. Officials said he was caught while accepting Rs. 20,000 from a person.

However, the arrest highlights the bureau’s ongoing efforts to act against corruption in public offices. Such cases, officials said earlier in similar matters, aim to send a strong message against misuse of official position.
Later, the arrested officer is expected to be produced before the competent authority as part of the legal process. The investigation will continue to determine the full sequence of events.
