Anti‑Corruption Squad’s Major Raid Leads to Arrest of Giridih Cyber Officer

The Anti‑Corruption Bureau’s recent operation in Giridih culminated in the arrest of Sub‑Inspector Poonit Kumar Gautam of the cyber police unit for a thirty‑thousand‑rupee bribe. The case originated from a complaint filed by Jivlal Mandal, prompting ACB agents to conduct a thorough verification. Following confirmation, a sting was arranged, and the officer was apprehended while accepting the illicit sum. The fallout from the raid has caused considerable unrest within the police hierarchy, and the investigation continues with further legal steps being taken.
