2 policemen granted bail in graft case

The two Chandigarh Policemen who were booked for demanding and accepting a bribe from a proclaimed offender got bail from a special CBI court here on Friday.

Head Constable Vajinder Singh,who had been arrested by the CBI while accepting a bribe from Baltana resident Rupesh Tangri,a proclaimed offender in a check-bounce case,was granted regular bail on a bond of Rs 30,000. The court also granted anticipatory bail to Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Deshraj Singh.

Vajinder was arrested on February 25 while accepting Rs 3,000 from Tangri. Deshraj had managed to give police the slip. The duo had allegedly demanded Rs 4,000 from Rupesh in order to be let off. The bribe amount was fixed at Rs 3,000.

Tangri approached the CBI which laid a trap to arrest the two red-handed. The constable was arrested from the Sector 46 house of the ASI who managed to flee.
