Three awarded 3 yrs imprisonment in graft case

A special anti-corruption bureau court today awarded three years of imprisonment to three persons, including a government officer in a case of graft here.
The ACB court judge Nagendra Pal Bhandari held the trio guilty in the case and pronounced the verdict on them, prosecution sources said.
A piece of pasture land was fraudulently transferred to a person, identified as Omprakash in 1997-98 in Bikasar village in the district by Omprakash and Naingiri in connivance with Ashok Yadav, who was then posted as Sub-Divisional Officer, they said.
Yadav is currently posted as Additional district collector in SriGanganagar.
Later, on a tip off, the ACB officials unearthed the irregularities and lodged a case against them in 2005 under section 13 (1) of prevention of corruption act and 120 (B) of IPC, the sources added.
