The Bribery Commission will investigate allegations of bribery against over 100 senior police officers soon, Bribery Commission sources said.

Among the police officers are four DIGs including a senior officer, three SSPs, ten SPs and eight ASPs, the sources said. Those against whom there is prima facie evidence will be prosecuted in court.

Earlier bribery complaints against these officers were held up due to the Commission not functioning as it was not fully constituted for some time after the death of sitting officials.
