A special court in Mumbai has sentenced a retired assistant police inspector to three years in jail for bribery in a 2017 case.
Suresh Naik, 65, was found guilty by special judge S E Bangar under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The court considered his past service in solving nearly 60 criminal cases while determining his sentence.
In 2017, Maharashtra's Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) filed a case against Naik based on a complaint by BMC driver Ramakrishna Kute, who accused Naik of demanding a Rs 5,00,000 bribe.
