Baripada: A Special Vigilance Court today sentenced a police Sub-inspector to 5 years in jail in a bribery case. He had been caught while accepting a bribe of Rs 5,000.
In addition, the court also ordered Sachidananda Kisan to pay a fine of Rs 15,000 from him.
In 2018, Kisan was working as an SI in Baripada Town Police Station. He had arrested a youth and sent him to jail in connection with a rape case.
Later, he demanded a bribe of Rs.15,000 to clear the charges against the accused and to drop others in the case.
When he accepted the bribe, the vigilance had caught him red-handed.
