Claim: A Muslim DSP in Kanpur was arrested by an anti-corruption team for taking ₹1.5 lakh and handing over seized illegal weapons to his friends.
Fact-check: This video shows a constable arrested for taking ₹15,000 Bribe to Speed Up Case, not a DSP arrested for Handing over Seized Illegal Weapons to his friends - FACTLY
Verdict: the muslim police officer shown in the video is a constable not a dsp and was not arrested for taking ₹1.5 lakh and handing over seized illegal weapons to his friends. he was actually arrested for accepting a ₹15,000 bribe to take quick action in a case filed by rinku, a resident of juhi, against several individuals under the sc/st act. shahnawaz initially demanded ₹20,000 but later agreed to ₹15,000. rinku reported this to the vigilance team, which confirmed the complaint and caught shahnawaz in a sting operation. after his arrest, he tried to escape but was restrained and dragged barefoot from the acp babupurwa office. therefore, the claim in the post is misleading.
