An RTI activist has accused CCB officials of demanding bribe and sexual favours from detained women after a high-profile rave party raid in Bengaluru this May.

A Bengaluru-based activist has filed a complaint with the State Human Rights Commission (SHRC), accusing officials from the Central Crime Branch (CCB) of corruption and misconduct after a raid on a rave party earlier this year. The complaint, lodged by Vijay Dennis, president of Karnataka RTI Workers Seva Samithi, claims that certain CCB officers demanded bribes and sought sexual favours from women detained in the raid, which took place on the outskirts of Bengaluru in May, The Hindu reported.

Following the complaint, the SHRC has directed the Bengaluru City police commissioner to investigate and provide a report by November 21. Dennis alleges that CCB officials involved in the operation fabricated medical reports to implicate the women arrested, pressuring them for a bribe of 10 lakh and asking for inappropriate favours.
