CBI Officer Found Guilty of Forcing a Sedan from a Pharmaceutical Company in Chandigarh Through Extortion
Headline: CBI Officer Gets Slapped with Extortion Charges After Stealing a Honda City in Threatening Manner
Hey there! Here's a quick rundown of a juicy tale involving a dirty CBI officer and a brand new Honda City.
In a dramatic turn of events, a special CBI court in the bustling city of Chandigarh has convicted an inspector from the investigating agency for extorting a snazzy Honda City from a local pharmaceutical company by threatening them with false charges in 2016.
The culprit, Ravinder Kumar Singla, has been found guilty under sections of the Prevention of Corruption Act and IPC Section 384 (extortion). The sentence is yet to be announced this coming Saturday, but the verdict is already making waves. Another suspect, Paramjit, was acquitted due to lack of substantial evidence.
The story goes that Ravinder slipped into the company's office, claiming his vehicle had broken down while posing as a local inspector. He made it known that he needed a ride to New Delhi on urgent business, and, with a menacing glare, demanded a company vehicle.
When the officials balked at his demand, he warned them about the importance of maintaining a warm relationship with CBI, hinting at potential repercussions if they didn't oblige. Fearing the consequences, the officials handed over their shiny new Honda City, assured that Ravinder would return it once he completed his mission.
But, true to form, Ravinder didn't return the car even a week later. He claimed his work in New Delhi had been extended, causing the officials to worry that he might not return the car at all. Ravinder then threw his weight around, threatening the company officials with false implication in a case, insisting that it would tarnish their reputation and take years to clear their names.
In a desperate bid to claim the car, Ravinder demanded that the company transfer the vehicle to his or a relative's name, but the officials refused. They eventually took their complaints to the CBI.
Investigations revealed that Ravinder had been on the force since 2008, and no inquiry or case regarding the pharmaceutical company had been assigned to him. Furthermore, the car was found in possession of the accused and recovered during the course of the investigation.
Ravinder had been using the Honda City from July 2015 to May 2016, with regular servicing expenses covered by the company. The accused regularly bullied the company officials, threatening them with fake charges if they requested the car back.
In court, the public prosecutor, Narender Singh, presented call recordings and other substantial evidence of corruption and extortion against Ravinder.
