CHANDIGARH: A special CBI court on Wednesday framed charges of Prevention of Corruption Act against a UT police sub-inspector for allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 15,000 for not lodging an FIR (first information report) against a Kaimbwala resident at the rear of Hotel Taj in Sector 17 in December 2015. The charges were framed in the presence of the accused policeman, who is currently posted at police lines in Sector 26.
The complainant, Hemraj Singh, claimed that Sewak initially had demanded Rs 20,000 and later reduced the amount to Rs 15,000.
CBI sources said, "Hemraj Singh has a dispute with someone and both had lodged cross FIRs against each other. Later, the opponent of Hemraj again lodged a DDR against Harnek at Sector 3 police station. Sub-inspector Sewak Singh was pressuring and demanding bribe from Hemraj for not covering the DDR into an FIR."
The detailed charge sheet against the tainted cop was filed in March. Sources said the complainant lodged an FIR with the CBI and a trap was laid. Singh had called the complainant to hand over the bribe money behind Hotel Taj and he had come in his SUV for accepting the bribe. Interestingly, CBI had also seized about 39 bottles of IMFL liquor and Rs 60,000 from his office room in Sector 3 police station.
Sources in CBI said a person cannot keep more than 12 bottles in his capacity but Sewak had about 40 bottles at his office. In the charge sheet, the testimony of complainant Hemraj Singh and a transcript of a recorded conversation between accused Sewak Singh posted at Sector 3 police station and Hemraj was attached in the charge sheet. Currently, Sewak is out on bail.
