Delhi Police has arrested an assistant sub inspector for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 19 lakh from the driver of an accused in the infamous kidney racket to let them go scot-free.

Six other policemen allegedly involved in the case are absconding.

"ASI Ravinder Kumar Singh was arrested on Thursday for accepting a bribe of more than Rs 19 lakh from the driver of Dr Upendra, one of the main accused in the Gurgaon kidney racket," Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Satyendra Garg told PTI.

Efforts are on to nab the policemen on the run and raids are being conducted in various parts of the city to catch them, Garg said.

Garg said a case under Section 384 of Indian Penal Code (extortion) has been slapped against the policemen. If found guilty, they could be jailed for up to three years or fined or both.
