Gurugram traffic staff to be transferred every 60 days after bribery arrest
A home guard in Gurugram was arrested for allegedly soliciting money from a motorist on November 7.
The motorist, a vlogger travelling with his family, was stopped near Cyber Hub and later shared a video of the encounter online.
