Nalgonda: The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) on Monday arrested Suryapet deputy superintendent of police K. Partha Sarathi and Suryapet town inspector P. Veera Raghavulu for demanding a Rs 25 lakh bribe from a scanning centre to not arrest him.
The ACB officials acted on a complaint of the scanning centre owner, who produced evidence for the two police officials demanding the bribe. The complainant agreed to pay a bribe of Rs 16 lakh and then approached the ACB.
ACB officials conducted a raid on the Suryapet DSP office and arrested DSP Partha Sarathi and Inspector Veera Raghavulu.

Following this, a case was filed against the owner of the centre, which is located near the Telangana Tallu statue in Suryapet.
