Recently, Pathy (48), traffic inspector from Gobi in Erode district was caught when he intercepted a lorry and demanded a bribe, in which two DVAC sleuths disguised as driver and cleaner were travelling, in Sathyamangalam.
According to police, “The cop in the driver’s seat got down and gave chemical-laced notes to him. When Pathy received the money, the DVAC sleuths revealed the truth and sought to take him into custody for an inquiry.”
The inspector, however, gave a slip to the cops while proceeding to the station. “A bystander was even injured, when he rammed his car on him while speeding away,” police added. Since then he was placed under suspension.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, a police team led by DVAC DSP Pushparaj carried out a raid in the house of Pathy. The search, which commenced at 8 am was carried out till evening.
