A special CBI Court on Monday in a bribery case sentenced CCl Manager Sunil Kumar for four years in jail and slapped a fine of Rs 15,000. Singh, posted in Giddi Colliery of Hazaribagh, was charged with demanding a bribe of Rs 2500 per week from the complainant Avdhesh Kumar.
“The court has sentenced him for 3 years and 4 years under section 7 and Section 31(D) of CrPC and slapped a fine of Rs 5,000 and 10,000,” said defense lawyer Bishwajeet Mukherjee. Both the sentences will go on simultaneously, he added.
After repeated threats given by Sunil Kumar to the Assistant Store Keeper Avdhesh Kumar who had been given responsibility of distributing diesel to the CCl vehicles plying in the colliery, he made a complaint with the CBI which was found true by them on December 16, 2015.
