A woman inspector with the Delhi Traffic Police has been sentenced to two years in jail for demanding a bribe of Rs 500 from a bus owner.
Alka Singh (56), who was suspended for 10 years for misconduct, was convicted on bribery charges by Special Judge B R Kedia. Besides the two-year imprisonment, she was also told to pay a fine of Rs 14,000. The court, however, suspended her jail term till August 19 to enable her file an appeal against the sentence.
According to the prosecution, Alka had demanded Rs 500 from Dharmender Sharma after she impounded his bus, running between Old Delhi and Badarpur Border, at Tilak Marg on November 19, 2000. Sharma claimed that she had done this, though he had all the necessary documents.
Alka was caught red-handed by anti-corruption officials at her office in Pragati Maidan on November 21, 2000, while she was accepting the bribe.
