CBI arrests the accused

According to the CBI, a man who owns a business complained to them on July 10 about how much e-rickshaws were being charged at his store in Delhi’s LSC Market, K Block Mangolpuri. The man complained that Bhim, the head constable of the Mangolpuri Police Station, threatened to shut down his e-rikshaw charging business and take the e-rikshaws on July 7.

He is also accused of asking the complainant for a bribe of Rs 50,000 in exchange for allowing e-rickshaws to park and charge in front of his store. The CBI then decided to organise a raid in order to capture them while they were taking the money.

One of the accused Bhim attempted to leave during the CBI raid but was stopped by a CBI agent. A CCTV set up outside the police station recorded the entire episode, and the video footage is now going viral on social media.
