New Delhi: A court here on Wednesday sentenced a suspended Delhi Police inspector to three-year rigorous imprisonment for seeking illegal gratification from a man eight years ago.
“Public servants indulge in corruption because it is low-risk and high-gain venture. Unless a message is given to reverse this feeling, it will be difficult to contain corruption in society,” Special Judge G.P. Mittal said, rejecting convict Madhu Sankha’s plea for leniency. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on Sankha, who, working with Crime Against Women Cell, had demanded money from a complainant in September, 1999 for filing chargesheet in a dowry harassment case.
The inspector has been booked under various provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act. — PTI
