The complainant also claimed that the ASI took Rs 3,000 from him on August 4 and now he was demanding Rs 20,000 more. The complainant produced a call recording as evidence.

A team of the VB laid a trap and arrested the ASI while taking Rs 20,000 from the complainant in the presence of official witnesses.
