Delhi CBI Court Sentences Ex-Government Official to Four Years in Corruption Case
A special CBI court in New Delhi sentenced dismissed government official Neeraj Khatri to four years of rigorous imprisonment for corruption under the Prevention of Corruption Act. The court emphasized the need for strong punishment to deter such offenses but considered Khatri's age and dismissal from service in not imposing the maximum seven-year term. Khatri's counsel cited his chronic health issues and lack of support, while the court noted his prior convictions and suspended sentences in related cases, denying leniency.
