Delhi: Ex SI gets two years RI for seeking bribe

A court here sentenced a former Delhi Police Sub Inspector to two years rigorous imprisonment for accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000 from a man for not registering a criminal case against him.

Special CBI Judge S P Garg also imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 on Devender Singh after holding him guilty under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

Singh was apprehended on January 25,2003,by CBI’s anti-corruption sleuths on a complaint of Yogender Pratap Gupta,a job consultant,while taking the bribe money of Rs 5,000.

Gupta had alleged to CBI that Singh,who was then posted as police outpost incharge under Rajouri Garden police station,was demanding money for not proceeding against him on a complaint of a girl who had lodged a cheating complaint against him.

The court,after perusing the evidence including the statements of prosecution witnesses,convicted Singh and awarded the prison term with the fine.
