Korba: A court in Chhattisgarh's Korba district has sentenced two police personnel to four years in jail for taking bribe.
Additional District and Sessions Judge Sunita Sahu yesterday awarded a four-year jail term to Balram Sahu and Andherius Tirki, both assistant sub-inspectors of police, said the public prosecutor Ranjna Dutta today.
The court also slapped a fine of Rs 20,000 on Sahu and Rs 10,000 on Tirki, she added.
In 2011, a woman had lodged a complaint of molestation against one P. Sahu at Bakimongra police station in Korba.
The two policemen demanded a bribe of Rs 8,000 from him to help him get the case disposed of, Dutta said.
He complained to the Anti-Corruption Bureau which arrested the duo red-handed while taking the bribe and booked them under Prevention of Corruption Act.
