Keesara SI Caught Accepting ₹2 Lakh Bribe to File Favourable Chargesheet

Another alleged corruption incident has come to light at Keesara Police Station in Medchal-Malkajgiri district. Keesara Sub-Inspector K. Srinivas was caught red-handed by Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials while allegedly accepting a bribe of ₹2 lakh in exchange for filing a favourable chargesheet in a case. The incident has caused a stir, as it comes shortly after the station’s inspector and sub-inspector were caught accepting a bribe in a ration rice case on September 17. According to ACB DCP Gangasani Sridhar, the complainant approached the ACB three days before the trap. Two cases had been registered against him—one involving alleged cheating and another based on a dowry-related complaint filed by his sister-in-law. He was arrested in one case, while he was issued a notice in the other. Additional sections were subsequently included, and he was produced before a magistrate, who granted him bail.

The complainant was required to visit Keesara Police Station every Monday to mark his attendance. During his visit last Monday, SI Srinivas allegedly demanded ₹5 lakh to file the chargesheet quickly and in the complainant’s favour. After the complainant expressed his inability to pay the amount, the SI reportedly agreed to accept ₹2 lakh. He allegedly made repeated phone calls, insisting that the money be brought on Monday morning. Acting on the complaint, ACB officials caught Srinivas red-handed while he was allegedly receiving ₹2 lakh in a cover from the complainant at an apartment in Shilpa Nagar, Nagaram. The SI was arrested, and DCP Sridhar said he would be produced before the court on Tuesday after the investigation.
