Guwahati, Nov 11: Suspended Superintendent of Police (SP) Raj Mohan Ray was on Thursday arrested for allegedly taking Rs 2 lakh as bribe from the kin of a man accused of raping and killing a 13-year-old girl in Assam’s Darrang district.
The SP was arrested after evidence was collected, a press statement by the state Criminal Investigation Department (CID) said.
Ray had taken illegal gratification from the kin of the accused in the girl’s murder case for extending undue favours to dilute the case.
“He has been arrested in a fresh case registered by the Assam CID under the Prevention of Corruption Act and sections of the IPC,” the statement said.
After analysing bank account statements of the accused’s family, call detail records, tower locations and geo-location mapping, CID investigators found that Ray had “received an amount of Rs. 2 lakh from the accused’s family,” it said.
Ray had received the amount through the then officer-in-charge of Dhula police station, Utpal Borah, who was arrested by the CID on October 31.
