ASP on the mat for bribery

A special team from the Bribery Commissioner�s Department arrested an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) who was on duty at the Nugegoda Police division for allegedly accepting a bribe from a woman conducting a welfare centre in Maharagama.

The ASP was arrested near a temple in Maharagama while accepting Rs. one million, a part of the promised amount of Rs.1.2 million, Bribery Commission sources said.

When the woman lodged a complaint to remove the inmates of the welfare centre, the ASP had allegedly intervened and promised to chase the inmates if the money is given to him.

Investigations are contin- uing.
