Warangal: Hasanparthy Inspector Ravula Narender was put under Vacancy Reserve (VR) following allegations of taking bribe in a land settlement case.
Warangal Police Commissioner AV Ranganath issued orders to this effect on Tuesday. According to sources, Narender allegedly took a bribe of Rs 50,000 from rowdy sheeter Tallapally Sunil in connection with a land dispute case.
