CBI's law officer sentenced to 3 yrs jail in corruption case

New Delhi: A law officer of CBI, posted with its Kolkata unit, has been sentenced to three years in jail by a Delhi court for demanding bribe from a person in return for favouring him



He is now posted in Kolkata zone of CBI.  

The agency filed its charge sheet within two months in the court which found him guilty for the offences of demanding and accepting bribe relating and criminal misconduct on the part of a public servant.

The court said “there cannot be any doubt that CBI is burdened with herculean task of apprehending the corrupt officials and to bring them to the books and it was least expected from a senior official of the prosecution department of CBI to have indulged in what he was supposed to shun.  

“He was required to keep himself clean and disciplined so that others could emulate him. He was shouldered with the responsibility to expose corrupt persons but he, instead, tried to become one himself.”
