A court in Udaipur sentenced ASP Mukesh Kumar Sony and alleged broker Sajjan Singh to imprisonment in connection with a ₹2 crore bribery case linked to the 272‑plot land dispute.
The Udaipur Sessions Court ordered the incarceration of Assistant Superintendent of Police Mukesh Kumar Sony and alleged middleman Sajjan Singh after finding them guilty of accepting a bribe of approximately two crore rupees. Both were taken into custody following a thorough investigation into the alleged misconduct.
The case stems from the controversial 272‑plot land allocation in Udaipur, where officials were accused of manipulating records to favor certain buyers. Prosecutors allege that ASP Sony, in his official capacity, facilitated the irregular allotment in exchange for the cash payment, while Sajjan Singh acted as the intermediary.
During the hearing, the court directed a forensic examination of the mobile devices seized from the accused to verify the communication trail and corroborate the financial transaction. The investigation is expected to continue, and the findings may lead to further legal action against additional parties.
The sentencing underscores the judiciary's focus on curbing corruption within the police force and serves as a warning to other officials involved in land‑related scams across the state.
