Bhubaneswar: The Twin City Police Commissionerate on Sunday suspended Priyabrata Pradhan, a sub-inspector posted at Saheed Nagar police station, following bribery allegations against him.
He was caught red-handed by Odisha Vigilance sleuths while accepting Rs 2,000 bribe from a person to hand him over his driving licence impounded for driving under the influence of alcohol the previous day.
“During the period of suspension, he will remain under the disciplinary control of the Deputy Commissioner of Police, Bhubaneswar UPD. He will draw usual SA and DA during the suspension period as admissible under Rule 90 of the Odisha Service Code,” the order stated.
