Six policemen line attached

Badwani, MP, Nov 22 (UNI) Six policemen were caught in camera while illegally collecting money from highway users at Agra Mumbai National Highway in this district, police said today.

The sting operation was conducted by police in a bid to cleanse the police department in view of complaints of illegal collection of money and irregularities.

Deputy Inspector General of Police (Nimad range) Vipin Maheshwari said some policemen posted at Julwania checkpost were line attached one-and-half-months back following complaints of irregularities.

He said action will be taken against Station House Officers and sting operations will continue.
