City Police Commissioner Dr. B.R. Manjunath issued an order suspending PSI Ashwini Ananthapura of the Narasimharaja Traffic Police Station pending investigation.
The move comes after audio clips of a purported conversation between PSI Ashwini and Sangamesh Jhalaki of Bagalkot district for helping a person named Basavaraju a job as FDA. A screenshot of the bank statement showing the transfer of money allegedly as a kickback to the officer also circulated widely.
PSI Ashwini was suspended after a preliminary inquiry by ACP of the Traffic Division found the allegations against her to be prima facie true.
