A police sub-inspector attached to Mulagund Police Station in Gadag district, who was accused of receiving bribe from a person, was suspended on Wednesday.
Gadag Superintendent of Police K.T. Balakrishna said that action was taken against police sub-inspector Raju Bilagi based on a preliminary inquiry report submitted by the Circle Inspector of Police of Mulagund.
He said that prima facie it was found that the sub-inspector had received bribe for favouring a man who indulged in illegal activities. A departmental inquiry had been ordered against him, Mr. Balakrishna said.
