PANAJI - The Goa Police Wednesday suspended a sub-inspector for accepting a bribe from a non resident Indian (NRI), officials said.

Deputy Inspector General Ravindra Yadav told reporters that sub-inspector Pravin Pawar attached to the immigration branch was placed under suspension for accepting a $100 bribe.

“We received a letter from British NRI Fatima Fernandes, who complained that Pawar, posted at the Dabolim airport, asked for a bribe on March 7,” Yadav said. Fernandes was returning to Britain.

“She was carrying all the valid documents. Yet, Pawar asked her for a bribe for allowing her to board the flight,” Yadav said.
