The Enquiry Commissioner and Special Judge, Thiruvananthapuram convicted ASI (Grade) [name withheld] of Chavara police station in CC No.27/2010 on 31-10-2014 for demanding Rs 2,000 from complainant, a Kollam man, on 21-04-2009 and accepting it on 24-04-2009, sentencing him to two years' RI under each PC Act count. The Kerala High Court (Justice A. Badharudeen, Crl.A. No.1229/2014, decided 06-03-2026, 2026:KER:20489) held demand and acceptance proved through the trap witnesses and confirmed the conviction, interfering only to reduce the sentence to the statutory minimum in the interest of justice.
