Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: A Delhi court on Tuesday sentenced an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer of Haryana cadre to 100 days' rigorous imprisonment in a cheating case in which he had forged a certificate for Scheduled Castes to get into the service in 1986.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM), Manoj Jain, who had on July 6 held the accused, Sanjay Bhatia, guilty of the charges, imposed a fine of Rs.1 lakh on him.

Before being held guilty and dismissed from the job, the officer was serving as a senior officer in the State.

The Court granted him interim bail on his furnishing a bond of Rs.25,000 for 30 days to allow him to file an appeal in the Delhi High Court against the judgment.

Of two other accused in the case, Kasturi Lal Bhatia, father of the convict, died during the two-decade-long trial, while Ravi Bhatia, brother of the guilty IPS officer, was acquitted for lack of evidence.
