Hyderabad Cop Suspended for Alleged Rs 2 Crore Bribe to Aid Fraudster's Escape
A police officer named Srikanth Goud in Hyderabad has been suspended because people think he helped a man named Satish escape.
Satish is accused of cheating many people out of a lot of money, about Rs 23 crore.
The police were bringing Satish and his family back to Hyderabad from Mumbai.
It is suspected that Officer Goud might have taken Rs 2 crore to let Satish and his family get away.
He allegedly kept the other police officers away and drove them towards the border of another state.
Satish and his family then got into another car and disappeared.
The police are now searching for them in different states, especially in Maharashtra.
They are also checking the officer's phone calls to see if he really took money and helped them escape.

Allegations include facilitating the escape for a Rs 2 crore bribe.
Satish is accused in a Rs 23 crore cheating case involving multiple investors.
