The Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) on Wednesday arrested former Vaikom circle inspector P.A. Shameerkhan, 52, for allegedly collecting ₹2.27 lakh in bribes via a bank account opened in the name of an Assam native.

Shameerkhan, a native of Vilanilam in Mundakkayam, was arrested by the VACB Kottayam unit in a case registered following a surprise inspection at his office on October 16. Preliminary investigations revealed that the accused official had allegedly collected money from sand-mining operators, tipper-lorry owners and accused in various cases through UPI transactions to the said account.
