Updated: Jun 11th, 2024


Anti Corruption Bureau (ACB) has arrested absconding cybercrime police inspector (PI) BM Patel in an alleged bribe case of ₹10 lakh.

A complainant reached out to cybercrime to complain about a bookie residing in Ahmedabad West. The investigating officer PI BM Patel allegedly asked for ₹20 lakh for the processing of filing the chargesheet.

At last, the amount was negotiated to ₹10 lakh. On the other hand, interrogations with the other two accused revealed that the bribe amount was ₹40 lakh, as per ACB sources.

PI Patel sent Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Gaurang Gometi and Head Constable Amtha Patel to collect the bribe from the complainant from Sindhu Bhavan Road.

However, ACB nabbed the two police personnel sent by PI Patel.

After knowing the news of the apprehension of his subordinates, PI Patel has been on the run.

Acting on a tip off about PI Patel’s location at Bansari Greencity near Gandhinagar-Randheja Highway, ACB promptly arrested the accused.

ACB suspects that the PI might have destroyed evidence in the last seven days. ACB has been investigating the locations where PI was absconding, and the people who may have helped him.

ACB has also been investigating his bank accounts, bank lockers and other locations.
