In Tamil Nadu, five police personnel have been subjected to disciplinary measures within a week due to separate bribery allegations. These incidents, occurring in Tirunelveli, Chennai, and nearby areas, involved demands or acceptance of bribes ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 10,000.
Actions taken included suspension for head constable Sorna Raj in Tirunelveli for demanding Rs 1,000 and for sub-inspector Sivaraj and constable Vivek in Chennai regarding a Rs 10,000 payment. A sub-inspector at Madhavaram Police Station was also suspended after a preliminary enquiry established bribe demand charges.
The most severe action was the dismissal of sub-inspector Marishwaran from Puzhal Police Station following a departmental enquiry. Allegations against him from 2024 involved repeated demands for bribes, with the enquiry finding the charges true.
These disciplinary actions underscore continued scrutiny of corruption within the Tamil Nadu police, with varied circumstances leading to different levels of punishment based on enquiry findings.
