Three Karnataka Sub-Inspectors Suspended Over Bribe-for-Post Conversation

Karwar: Three sub-inspectors in Uttara Kannada district have been suspended after an audio recording surfaced on social media, allegedly featuring a discussion about money paid to secure the Haliyal law-and-order SI posting.

The officers, who are friends, are purportedly heard in the roughly two-minute clip discussing the alleged payment for the posting.

They also allegedly discuss being posted in the same taluk and making money together.

Uttara Kannada Superintendent of Police M N Deepan ordered the action and initiated a departmental enquiry into the matter.

The recording has since gone viral, with the JD(S) social media cell sharing it and accusing the ruling government of corruption regarding police postings.
