A recent report highlights the conviction of former Assistant Police Inspector Suresh Naik (65) by a special Mumbai court in a 2016 corruption case. Naik was sentenced to the minimum prescribed punishment of four years of rigorous imprisonment and fined ₹1 lakh. He was found guilty under the Prevention of Corruption Act for demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹5.3 lakh from Ramkrishna Kute, a driver involved in a bribery case. The Anti-Corruption Bureau had caught Naik red-handed accepting ₹30,000 as the first installment during a trap operation. Despite this misconduct, the court acknowledged Naik’s otherwise commendable service, which included leading investigations that resulted in convictions in 58 cases, and thus awarded the minimum sentence.
