MUMBAI - A total of 36 police officers in the Indian city of Mumbai being sanctioned for receiving a bribe. Actions of all the police officers was also caught on camera.

In a video recording, the police personnel caught taking bribes in an amount not much of a man named Mohammad Khan. Khan at the time was working on his housing project in Nehru Nagar. The policemen approached him and demanded bribes.

Khan said he was recording the events that occurred after the police intend to set him up in the building construction issues. Khan was asked to pay bribes to the police to be free. But in the end, the video was handed senior police official Khan.

Mumbai police chief Satyapal Singh, described the incident as a shameful event. Singh will promptly investigate the matter and punish the police officers involved. Similarly, as reported by the BBC, Thursday (04/11/2013).

This case is a case of police arrest in large numbers in the first-ever Bollywood State. Indian police re-tarnished image due to the embarrassing scandal.

So far, the Government of India in Maharashtra had launched an anti-corruption campaign right after building collapse events appear. The incident killed 74 residents.

Therefore, the problems associated with building construction in India is often used by some police officers to search for fringe benefits. They always ask for bribes to people who want to build a building illegally, without regard to the safety standards that apply.
