Assam: Case against ASP for ‘bribe’ demand

GUWAHATI: Assam Police have registered a suo moto case against an additional superintendent of police (ASP) in Bongaigaon district for allegedly demanding a bribe from a jailed businessman.
Bongaigaon SP Swapnaneel Deka told TOI that police are investigating the case after an alleged audio clip surfaced on the local media a couple of days ago in which ASP Pankaj Kumar Kakati was heard demanding money from businessman Abdul Kader in lieu of extending a favour to him.
“We have lodged a case against the ASP under Section 384 (extortion) and Section 511 of the IPC.
The audio clip was recorded in February or March by Kader, a coal trader, after a case was registered against him in connection with some illegal business activities,” he said.
Kakati, an Assam Police Service officer, had allegedly sought a bribe to settle the case in favour of Kader, the SP said.
“The clip was leaked to the local media by family members of Kader.
Kader has been in judicial custody since March in connection with the coal trade case,” Deka added.
