Indore Lokayukta FIR Against TI Sujit Srivastava for Rs 1.2 Lakh Bribe Demand

Indore Lokayukta police have filed a First Information Report (FIR) against Sujit Srivastava, who was serving as the Temporary Inspector (TI) of the city’s crime branch, along with three additional individuals. The case alleges that the accused demanded a bribe totaling Rs 1.20 lakh.\n\nAccording to the FIR, the alleged extortion was split into two parts: Rs 50,800 was requested through a Unified Payments Interface (UPI) transaction, while the remaining Rs 70,000 was sought in cash. The complainant reported that the demand was made in connection with a pending matter handled by the crime branch.\n\nThe Lokayukta’s anti-corruption wing has taken up the investigation, stating that any public servant found soliciting or accepting illicit payments will face strict legal action. The filing of the FIR marks the first formal step in what could become a high‑profile case concerning corruption within the police hierarchy in Madhya Pradesh.\n\nFurther details, including the identity of the other two accused and the specific circumstances that triggered the bribe demand, are expected to emerge as the investigation proceeds.
