AN EMPLOYEE of Pusa Polytechnic has been sentenced to two years in prison for taking a bribe of Rs 300 from a student who wanted good marks in his practical examination. A court sentenced Senior Programme Assistant Vishal K.

Narula to two years' rigorous imprisonment (RI) for taking a bribe from Srikaram Sheel in 2002. Special Judge A. S. Yadav held Narula (39) guilty and said, "The prosecution has been able to prove its case against Narula.

He be sentenced to two years in prison for the offence." "Deterrent punishment should be imposed to curb the evil of corruption.

Today it seems that honesty is a very rare deed. Very few persons muster the courage to report the matter regarding demand of bribe.

Otherwise, under compulsion they are forced to pay the bribe," the Judge said, while slapping a fine of Rs 10,000 on Narula. Narula had allegedly demanded a bribe of Rs 500 from Srikaram Sheel to give him good marks in his practical examinations scheduled for January 2003.
