The Tamil Nadu government has suspended a police officer who allegedly demanded a bribe via GPay, as part of a broader corruption crackdown that also saw four other officials suspended.
The Tamil Nadu government announced the suspension of a police officer following allegations that he sought a bribe through the GPay platform. The officer’s name was not disclosed, but the action was taken after an internal investigation flagged the misconduct.
This suspension is part of a wider anti‑corruption drive that has seen four additional officials placed on leave. The crackdown aims to reinforce integrity within the state’s public service.
In a statement, the state government reiterated its commitment to clean governance and said that any form of corruption would be dealt with swiftly and decisively.
The move is expected to send a strong message to law‑enforcement personnel and other public servants about the consequences of unethical behaviour.
