Bengaluru: A special Lokayukta court sentenced an assistant sub-inspector of police to two-and-a-half years imprisonment for accepting Rs 1 lakh from a man accused of rape in 2014.
The court also slapped a fine of Rs 50,000 on the accused B Rajalakshmi, who was posted with women's helpline Vanita Sahayavani when the Lokayukta caught her red-handed while accepting cash on September 17, 2014.
In 2014, a woman in her 30s approached Malleswaram police, accusing a family friend of raping her. The case was jointly investigated by the cops and sleuths from Vanita Sahayavani. Rajalakshmi contacted the accused stating that she could drop the rape charges if he paid Rs 1 lakh. The accused, who refused initially, agreed to pay after Rajalakshmi threatened to arrest him.
At the same time, he approached Lokayukta police and filed a complaint against Rajalakshmi and helped get her arrested.
