Hyderabad: A Vikarabad police bribery case was registered by the Anti-Corruption Bureau against two women police officials for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe.
According to an official press note dated April 21, 2026, the ACB booked Inspector of Police B. Saroja and Sub-Inspector H. Rani of the Women Police Station, Vikarabad district, on charges of criminal misconduct.
The officials initially demanded ₹60,000 from a complainant to issue notices in a case. However, they later reduced the demand to ₹40,000 following the complainant’s request. On March 23, the complainant paid ₹20,000 to the Sub-Inspector in the presence of the Inspector at the police station.

As the complainant could not arrange the remaining amount, the accused officials continued to press for payment. Consequently, the complainant approached the ACB and filed a complaint.
After preliminary verification, the bureau registered a case against both officers. Meanwhile, the investigation is underway, and officials said action would follow due legal procedure.
The ACB also issued a public advisory urging citizens to report bribery demands. In addition, it asked people to contact the toll-free number 1064 or reach out through official social media platforms. Authorities further stated that the identity of complainants would remain confidential.
