The CBI court here allowed a bail application filed by a UT cop in a bribery case.

On a complaint of Devender Singh Sandhu, the CBI had registered a case under Section 7 of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, against ASI Sher Singh on March 11. Sandhu had alleged that Sher Singh, who was posted at the ISBT Sector 43 police post, had demanded a bribe of Rs 1.5 lakh for favouring him in a complaint lodged against him. Since, the complainant was not ready to pay the bribe, he approached the CBI.

After registration an FIR, a trap was laid to nab the cop. The accused and a private person, Rinku, were apprehended by the CBI while demanding and accepting undue advantage of Rs 54,400 from the complainant.

After hearing of the arguments of the public prosecutor and the defence counsel, the court allowed the bail application.
