Police Register Case Against Two Telangana Women Cops In Rs 60,000 Bribery Allegation
Two Telangana women cops booked over alleged Rs 60,000 bribe demand.
A case has been registered against two women police personnel in Telangana for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 60,000 from a complainant, officials said on Wednesday, triggering both a criminal probe and internal disciplinary review.
According to authorities, the complaint alleged that the officers sought the payment in exchange for extending official favour in a matter under their jurisdiction. The accusation prompted a preliminary verification, following which investigators found sufficient grounds to initiate formal proceedings. While the identities of the accused have not been publicly disclosed, officials confirmed that both are currently posted within the state police force.
Investigators said the officers allegedly contacted the complainant and conveyed that the payment would influence the handling or outcome of the case. Though details of the underlying matter have not been fully revealed, sources indicated that the complaint was supported by initial material, including communication records, which are now being examined as part of the inquiry.

A case has been registered under relevant provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act, which deals with offences related to bribery and misuse of public office. Officials said evidence collection is ongoing, with a focus on establishing the sequence of events, verifying the alleged demand, and identifying any financial transactions linked to the case. Statements from the complainant and other potential witnesses are also being recorded.
Senior police officials said that, apart from the criminal investigation, departmental proceedings are likely to be initiated against the accused personnel. Such action could include suspension or other administrative measures, depending on the findings of the probe. Authorities emphasised that misconduct within the force would be addressed strictly in line with established rules and accountability frameworks.
The incident has once again brought attention to concerns around integrity and transparency within law enforcement agencies. Experts note that while anti-corruption mechanisms have strengthened over the years, consistent enforcement and swift action remain critical to maintaining public trust. Officials have urged citizens to report any instances of bribery or coercion, assuring that complaints will be handled seriously as part of broader efforts to uphold accountability and ethical standards in policing.
