Chandigarh, March 10
Dr Sushil Kumar Garg, special judge of CBI Court, has held Dr Rajiv Jassi, former medical officer of the District Jail, Ropar, guilty in a six-year-old bribery case.
The court will pronounce the quantum of sentence on March 15. The court has acquitted accused Satnam Singh.
Dr Jassi was arrested for allegedly demanding and accepting a bribe of Rs 4,000 from a woman. The case was registered in July 2014. The CBI Court framed charges of corruption against the medical officer in 2015. The investigating agency registered the case on a complaint of the mother of a prisoner lodged in the jail.
Sandeep was lodged in the Ropar jail in 2014 in a criminal case. When Sandeep’s mother, Dolly Rani, came to meet her son at Mohali Court during case hearing, Sandeep told her to request Dr Jassi to refer him to the PGI for treatment. However, as per allegations, when Dolly Rani contacted Dr Jassi, he demanded a bribe of Rs5,000 in lieu of referring her son to the PGI. The deal was finalised at Rs 4,000.
Dolly approached the CBI. A team laid a trap in Sector 40, Chandigarh, and arrested the accused. He was in a cab with driver Satnam Singh when both were caught by the CBI for accepting a bribe of Rs4,000 from Dolly Rani.
Dolly Rani was declared a proclaimed offender when she stopped attending hearings. The CBI arrested her and produced before the court to complete arguments.
