Cop Accused of Taking Samosas as Bribe in POCSO Case
In Uttar Pradesh, India, a police officer is in trouble.
He's accused of taking six samosas as a bribe.
This was in a case where a young girl reported a crime.
The officer filed a report that seemed to help the person accused, even though the girl's father said the officer ignored important information.
The court has now rejected the officer's report and will look at the case more closely.
An investigating officer in Etah, Uttar Pradesh, is accused of taking six samosas as a bribe.
The bribe was allegedly taken in exchange for filing a favorable final report in a POCSO case.

The victim's father alleged the police showed bias, and the officer failed to record eyewitness statements.
The court rejected the final report, treating the case as a complaint.
