State v. Kerala Police Assistant Sub-Inspector
Kerala VACB records that the Thalassery Vigilance Court convicted a former Assistant Sub-Inspector in the Pulppalli Circle Inspector's office for accepting a Rs 10,000 bribe after threatening to add a Gudalur complainant to a kidnapping case registered against a relative in 2016. The release describes a Rs 30,000 demand and acceptance of the first instalment in a vigilance trap. It reports seven years of imprisonment across statutory counts and a Rs 50,000 fine, but gives no count-wise terms or concurrency direction. The PDF is dated 19 August 2026 while the official release index lists 20 August; neither date is coded as the exact conviction date. Later appeal outcome is unverified.
