Bhopal ASI Gets Clean Chit In ₹50,000 Graft Case, PHQ Orders Fresh Probe
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The state Police Headquarters (PHQ) has asked the commissioner of police, Bhopal, to reinstitute an investigation against an ASI who has been given a clean chit in a graft case. Earlier, the DCP had carried out the investigation against the ASI. But not satisfied with the outcome of the probe, the PHQ has asked the CP to reinvestigate the case or else it will hand it over…
The Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) has ordered a fresh investigation into an alleged bribe case involving an Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) in Bhopal, India. According to the source, ASI Jagdish Sengar was accused of accepting a ₹50,000 bribe from a miscreant in exchange for sheltering him from police action. The complainant had provided evidence, including a bank transfer, to support their claim.
Initially, a DCP-rank officer investigated the case but found ASI Sengar not guilty and cleared him of any wrongdoing. However, upon reaching the Police Headquarters (PHQ), senior officials felt the need for a re-investigation into the allegations of bribery against the ASI. Consequently, the PHQ has requested the Commissioner of Police (CP) in Bhopal to either reinvestigate the case or hand it over to the vigilance department for further scrutiny.
The PHQ officials have drawn a parallel between this case and a similar bribe case that occurred in Indore on August 24, where four police personnel were caught accepting bribes.
