Guwahati, Sept 3 (IBNS): While the Assam government has taken stern action against the corrupt government employees and appropriate measures to reduce corruption in the state, a report has come to light with a youth lodging a complaint against a lady Deputy Superintendent of Poilce (DSP) for allegedly demanding a bribe of Rs 40,000 to dismiss a case.

According to the reports, the complainer named Saurav Hazarika has lodged a complaint against central Assam’s Nagaon district DSP Sabita Das.

The youth, a resident of Panigaon area in Nagaon town, said in his complaint copy that the lady DSP had allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 40,000 from him through an employee of Nagaon Sadar police station named Jyoti Khound.

“I was busy in a conversation with my three friends inside my car at around 12-30 am on August 31 in front of my house. At that moment a police team led by DSP Sabita Das reached the area and brought us to Sadar police station for quizzing. Police released us the next day around 4 pm, but the lady DSP seized my driving licence and car registration documents. When I requested them to return my documents, an employee of the police station named Jyoti Khound told me that, I will get it if pay Rs 40,000. The employee also told that, if I do not pay the demanded money, then my driving licence will be cancelled,” the youth said in his complaint.

The youth further said alleged that this type of incidents happen regularly in Nagaon district and a section of police harasses many common people as well as demand money to dismiss cases.

On the other hand, the accused employee of Nagaon police station said that, he said all things as per instruction of the official.
