Vigilance Registers Corruption Case against Traffic Constable

As an innovative measure to combat corruption, the Vigilance Branch has constituted Special Surveillance Teams in the last few months to keep an eye on any act of corruption by Delhi Police Personnel.  These teams, headed by Inspectors of the Vigilance Unit,  conduct surprise checks at various inter-sections in the city from time to time.  One such Special Surveillance Team of the Vigilance Branch of Delhi Police, during surveillance of traffic police staff, caught a constable who accepted Rs. 200/- as bribe from a Maruti Van driver to let him go without challan.

On 24.6.2015 a Vigilance Team of Delhi Police while conducting surveillance of Traffic staff reached at Ridge Road near Shankar Road Roundabout at about 3:30 PM and noticed that traffic police personnel have stopped 3 vehicles for checking on Ridge Road going towards Dhaula Kuan. After passing the traffic checking point, the Vigilance Team took position to interact with the drivers of the vehicles. Out of these vehicle one driver of Maruti Van told that traffic police staff has taken Rs. 200/- from him and issued no Challan.

On examination the driver stated that one traffic constable signaled him to stop the vehicle and asked him to show documents. He showed the Driving Licence and R/C of the vehicle to the constable, then constable said that he was carrying excess passenger in the vehicle and will be challaned. On asking the amount of Challan he told that court challan will cost him for Rs. 4000/- and cash challan will be issued for Rs. 2,000/-. He requested him that he is a poor man and he had only Rs. 200/- then constable asked him to pay Rs. 200/-. When the driver asked the constable to issue challan then constable told him that court challan will be issued. Thereafter he was asked to leave.

 When the Vigilance team took the driver at traffic checking point, he identified constable Rajbir who had taken Rs. 200/- from him. Const. Rajbir was confronted with the driver, he denied making any demand but on asking by the driver he admitted that driver himself has given him Rs. 200/- and he had accepted the same on the request of the driver to leave him. The conversation of the driver and constable Rajbir was recorded in the video camera.

On the statement of the driver of Maruti Van, a case vide FIR No.10/15 dated 25/6/2015 u/s 7/13(1) (d) Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 has been registered at P.S. Vigilance Unit and investigation is on.
