The officers were reportedly attempting to remove a complainant’s brother from a registered case. The accused have been suspended pending investigation. In September, seven police officers in Rajasthan’s Bharatpur district were booked following allegations of extortion and assault involving a 16-year-old minor. A complaint alleges that officers demanded monthly payments from the minor’s rental car business and subsequently used physical assault and the planting of an illegal firearm to implicate him after payments ceased. Local police leadership has dismissed these allegations as baseless, citing the minor’s prior criminal history. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-12: Rajasthan police officers booked for alleged extortion and assault of minor Seven Rajasthan police officers face charges for allegedly extorting a 16-year-old minor and framing him in a false illegal arms case after he refused to pay monthly bribes. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/rajasthan-police-officers-booked-for-alleged-extortion-and-assault-of-minor ### 2026-08-18: Four Ayodhya police officers arrested in Sikar for bribery Four police officers from Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, were arrested in Sikar, Rajasthan, by the Anti-Corruption Bureau for allegedly accepting a 2.8 lakh rupee bribe to influence a cyber crime case. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ayodhya-police-officers-arrested-for-bribery --- Cite as: Police corruption and misconduct allegations in India.
