New Delhi: The anti-corruption wing of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a Delhi Police Station House Officer (SHO) and two constables for accepting Rs 2 lakh bribe for allowing construction at a plot in Vijay Vihar locality in north Delhi.

The CBI team arrested Vijay Vihar SHO Surendra Singh Chahal and two police constables Badri and Jitendra for demanding and accepting a bribe from the complainant in the case.

According to reports, Vijay Vihar SHO SS Chahal had allegedly demanded Rs 5 lakh from the complainant who was constructing a wall on a plot in the Vijay Vihar area in north Delhi.
