According to the CBI FIR, the transcript of the conversation recorded between the complainant and the JE has established that accused Sukhwinder Singh demanded 30,000 from complainant Bharat Kumar for settlement of the matter.
The transcript of the conversation, which has been attached in the FIR of CBI, reveals that when accused Sukhwinder says “give 30,000 in one go or I will not do it”, complainant Kumar replies: 30,000 nagad chaiye ( 30,000 in cash). The accused then says “haan bilkul (Yes, Absolutely)”.
As per the transcript, Kumar asks Sukhwinder to give him one day’s time, but the accused didn’t.
The complainant had approached the CBI alleging that JE Sukhwinder Singh had been threatening action against the electrical meter at his residence. To avoid any punitive measures, the JE allegedly demanded a bribe of 50,000. However, after negotiation, the amount was reduced to 30,000. The JE then called the complainant to his office in Manimajra to hand over the money.
Acting swiftly, the CBI laid a trap inside the electricity department office. As soon as the complainant handed over 30,000 to JE Sukhwinder Singh, the CBI officials caught him red-handed. Later, the agency registered a case against him on charges of corruption.
‘Ek din ka time dedo’
Complainant Kumar: “Ek din ka time dedo, pls sir (give me one-day time).”
Accused Sukhwinder: “Na bhaji na (No).”
Complainant: “Apko 30,000 mil jayenge aaj bhar ka time dedo bill toh theek kara do mera (You will get money, give me today’s time and get my bill corrected)”.
Accused: “Ki karona (what is the work)?”
Complainant: “16000 zada aa gaya hai (It has come 16,000 extra).”
Accused: “Meri gal sun, main tera fayda karan nu soch reya ha…joh challan hunda hai oh moke te hunda hai (Listen to me, I am thinking of benefitting you…whatever the challan is, it is issued on the spot).”
Accused: “…Tu mera hissa daal itna fayda karunga tera tu yaad karega…meter tera andar laga deta hu… (You give me my part, I will benefit you so much that you will remember it…will get your meter inside).”
Complainant: “Lagwa do (Get it fixed)”.
