Srinagar, May 1 : The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Thursday arrested a Head Constable posted in Srinagar after he was allegedly caught red-handed accepting a bribe of ₹15,000 from a complainant.

According to officials, the complaint was lodged with the ACB alleging that Head Constable Parvaiz Ahmad Rather, posted in District Srinagar, had demanded ₹15,000 to remove the complainant’s name from an accused list in FIR No. 09/2026 registered at Police Station Soura.

Following the complaint, ACB carried out a discreet verification. During this process, the official initially allegedly demanded ₹50,000, which was later negotiated and settled at ₹15,000.

After verification confirmed the allegation, ACB registered FIR No. 08/2026 under Section 7 of the Prevention of Corruption Act at Police Station ACB Srinagar on May 1, 2026, and initiated an investigation.
