Externment means banishing a criminal from a certain geographical area.
The inspector had already accepted Rs 25,000 from the man and was harassing him for payment of the remaining amount, the ACB official said.
Fed up with harassment, the man lodged a complaint with the ACB which verified facts and later registered a case against the inspector under relevant sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act, he added.
