Karkala, Mar 12: In a rare to hear incident that occurred on Sunday, March 10 at Sanoor near here the owner of the lorry that was carrying the sand illegally was taken to task by Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) for offering the bribe.

ASP of the town H Krishnakanth stopped a lorry that was carrying sand from Maravoor to the town at Sanoor. The owner of the lorry, who arrived at the spot within no time in his Swift car, asked the ASP to release the lorry and said he would pay whatever needed to be paid to release the lorry. It is said that the ASP, who got furious at the lorry owner's audacity, took him to the station and taught him a proper lesson through lathi and also made him to sit in the station till evening.

The ASP was not in his uniform and was using a private car when he stopped the said lorry. So the owner of the lorry who was following the lorry could not identify the ASP. It is also learnt that even the police were not aware of this operation, which was done secretly by ASP Krishnakanth.
