State (CBI/ACB/Chennai) v. Delhi Police Sub-Inspector of Police (A1)
The Special Judge for CBI Cases, Madurai on 26 March 2008 convicted Delhi Police Sub-Inspector (A1) of IGI Airport police station for demanding a Rs.2-lakh bribe (bargained to Rs.50,000) from Melur manpower agent [name withheld] under threat of arrest while camping at Madurai in February 2005 to probe a fake Malaysian visa racket (Cr.No.115/2005 IGI Airport PS), catching him in a CBI trap with phenolphthalein-positive hands, and sentenced him to 2 years RI with fine on each count under PC Act ss.7 and 13(1)(d) r/w 13(2), while acquitting co-accused PC. The Madras High Court (Madurai Bench, Justice G. Jayachandran) on 26 October 2018 dismissed his appeal (Crl.A(MD)No.205/2008), holding the false arrest memo proved the extortion design, confirmed the conviction and sentence, and ordered him committed to prison.
