NEW DELHI: A trial court has sentenced a former medical superintendent of All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to three years' rigorous imprisonment for accepting bribe in 1998 from a private company, which used to supply cotton to the medical institute.
Special judge B R Kedia convicted 71-year-old Dr R C Anand under various sections of Prevention of Corruption Act and also slapped a fine of Rs 30,000 on him. The court also convicted a former junior store officer at AIIMS for destruction of evidence. Vyas Narayan Singh, 66, was awarded a one-year jail term and was fined Rs 10,000 by the court after the prosecution proved the allegations against the duo "beyond reasonable doubt".
The case dates back to 1998 when Sageer Ahmed Khan, owner of Shifaa Scientific Fibre, a company which used to supply cotton to AIIMS, filed a complaint with the anti-corruption branch against the duo, alleging that Dr Anand was demanding Rs 5,000 as bribe for the tender he was given.
He also alleged that Dr Anand demanded a commission of 2% on the entire future contract. The anti-corruption branch then laid down a trap and all the conversations of Dr Anand were recorded with the complainant.
Dr Anand was arrested while accepting a bribe of Rs 10,000.
