30 cases against cops for graft

     CHANDIGARH: Two allegedly tipsy cops, head constable Surinder Singh and constable Rajesh, who had reportedly misbehaved with relatives of local MP Pawan Kumar Bansal, were given a clean chit in the court. Departmental probe against them is still pending.

      A total of six cases under Excise Act for doing duty in inebriated condition have been registered against six cops in 2011. The detailed list reveals 30 cases out of 120 were registered for allegedly demanding and accepting the bribe and in 20 cases cops of different ranks have been convicted.

      Three custodial death cases were also in the list of criminal offences against cops, but two of them were ''settled'' after a written compromise between cops and victim's families. In one custodial death case, sub-inspector Narinder Singh was held guilty on November 7, 2009. An arrested youth Anil Kumar had died in police custody inside Manimajra police station in July 2007.
