ANC case:AG seeks time

PANJIM: Advocate General Subodh Kantak has sought two weeks time to file a reply to the petition filed by a lady police sub-inspector, who was dismissed from service for demanding a bribe.



Terming her dismissal as a slur on her career and personal life, the former PSI Sandhya Gupta in her petition before the High Court of Bombay at Goa, challenged her dismissal from service by the Director General of Police. Gupta submitted that she was neither caught while accepting bribe nor any trap was laid to catch her nor was she is guilty of any misconduct, even while maintaining that she is innocent and there is a conspiracy behind lodging the complaint as well as registering it.



Gupta was dismissed from service based on a complaint by one Lajwanti Datwani, whose son Sunil was arrested and booked under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Actby Gupta after a raid on a rave party on September 23. At that time she was in charge of ANC police station as the regular incumbent had proceeded on three days leave.
