Police officer demanding bribe to close false case of molestation

[Anonymous]

I was falsely implicated in a case of molestation by a girl. Now the police officer, who knows that this case is a false case against me, is harassing me and wants me to give him some money (bribe) to file a closure report. What action can I take against this police officer (SHO)? If i write to his superior authorities, will it worsen my case?

File a complaint with the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) or vigilance department of your state against the police officer demanding the bribe from you. If possible, record conversation with the police officer regarding demand of bribe before going to ACB. The ACB will lay a trap and catch him red-handed demanding and accepting the bribe from you. When you give a complaint to the ACB, usually they would try to help you in the case in which bribe was being demanded, to the extent it is legally possible to help you.
