Chandigarh, April 20

A recipient of the President’s Medal, UT Sub-Inspector Sanjiv Kumar (at present posted at the Police Lines), has been held guilty in a 10-year-old graft case, along with another person, Subhash Kataria, a representative of traders. However, another Sub-Inspector, Ramesh Chand, was acquitted by the court. The quantum of the sentence will be announced on April 26.

The CBI, on November 7, 2008, had arrested Sanjiv, then in-charge of the Neelam police post in Sector 17, along with Subhash of Delhi Jewellers, Sector 17, on allegations of demanding a bribe of Rs 50,000. They were arrested on a complaint of Arvind Kumar Pandey, a bookstore owner, who had alleged that Subhash and Sanjiv had demanded Rs 50,000 from him as a “kickback” for evicting his “tenant” from his shop in the bridge market. The CBI had first arrested Subhash with the amount and then went to the police post to nab Sanjiv, on whose behalf Subhash accepted the bribe. After investigations, the CBI made Ramesh Chand an accused in the case as his voice samples matched with the recorded conversation in which the demand for the bribe was made.
