In a shocking development, a land-grab accused in Goa allegedly offered a bribe of ₹3 crore to a police officer in an attempt to escape from lockup. The accused, who has been under investigation for multiple land-grabbing cases, reportedly attempted to use the substantial amount of money to facilitate his escape from custody.
The incident has raised serious concerns about the level of corruption within the police force and the security of individuals under arrest. Authorities have launched an internal investigation into the matter to determine the extent of the officer’s involvement and whether there are any larger implications for law enforcement practices in the region.
Bribery and corruption cases have long plagued India’s law enforcement system, and this incident has put a spotlight on the ongoing issues of accountability and transparency in police operations. Critics argue that such events undermine public trust in the police force and hinder the progress of investigations, especially in high-profile cases like land-grabbing.
The Goa Police have stated that they are treating the matter with utmost seriousness and will take strict action against any officers found to be complicit in the bribery attempt. The accused has been remanded to further custody, and additional measures are being taken to strengthen the security of lockup facilities.
