"We have registered a case against 98 policemen on late Wednesday under anti-corruption act after a vigilance probe prima facie found them guilty," a senior police official said.

No arrest was made till Thursday evening, but the official said corrupt policemen could be arrested.

The 98 policemen - including 11 sub-inspectors, an equal number of assistant sub-inspectors, 10 head constables and 66 constables - were suspended.

He moved the Delhi High Court that directed the home ministry and Delhi Police Commissioner YS Dadwal to look into the matter.
