BANGALORE: Srinivas, Sub-Inspector of Subramanyapura police station, was trapped by the Lokayukta police while he was accepting a bribe of Rs. 15,000, a Lokayukta press release said.

The Sub-Inspector allegedly demanded Rs. 20,000 from M. Manjunath, a resident of Doddakallasandra, for taking action against the latter’s brother. The amount was brought down to Rs. 15,000. Manjunath had filed a complaint that his brother, Muniyappa, was illegally occupying his site.
