A sub-inspector posted in Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj has been suspended for demanding "potatoes" as a bribe. Investigation revealed that the word "potato" was used as a code for bribe. The incident came to light after an alleged audio of the cop, Ram Kripal Singh, asking for a
bribe to settle a case went viral on social media.
Kannauj SP Amit Kumar Anand has ordered the suspension of the sub-inspector posted at the Bhawalpur Chapunna Chowki under the Saurikh police station. A departmental probe into the case has also been suggested.
