ITS REALLY APPRICIABLE FOR THE ASSESE WHO HAD INFORMED TO CBI ABOUT HIS DEMAND OF BRIBERY BY THIS OFFICER.
It’s really good, but it should apply for all government offices. & directly suspend on the spot. & occupy all there property & min 20 years send for jail.
Sub ka sub choothiya log hai sale.
this is the right punishment, i think
Modiji should see the attitude of the corrupt. Even in shut and close cases, there is ample scope to ‘manage’ to escape the Law. First thing the prosecution to do is to arrest and not to give bail and seize the property of the accused.
As the advocates/lawyers refused to defend the Ajmal for fhis distardly acts, the legal fraternity should accept the cases from the corrupt only for deciding the quantum of punishment and not to prove a ‘wrong’ thing as right.
