Accordingly, a trap was laid at the police station's record room yesterday," he said. When Khadke, who has been in the police force for not more than five years, realised that she has been caught, she put the currency notes into her own mouth and started chewing and swallowing them, an official said. "The ACB sleuths were shocked to see this, but one of the women constables acted swiftly and opened her mouth and recovered the currency notes," he said. The ACB managed to recover half-torn currency notes as an evidence, he said. Further investigation is on.
