The officer-in-charge (OIC) of the Crimes Unit of the Narahenpita Police Station, who was arrested for accepting a bribe of Rs 2.5 million, has been granted bail by the Colombo Magistrate today.

The suspect was enlarged on a cash bail of Rs.15,000 and two personal bails of Rs. 1 million each.

The officer was arrested by sleuths of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption in Kohuwala on November 27.

The Crimes OIC had allegedly requested for the bribe from a doctor in order to refrain from lodging a case against the latter regarding a certain transgression. He was arrested upon accepting the sum of Rs 2.5 million.
