Bhubaneswar: A vigilance court here on Monday sentenced a former assistant sub-inspector (ASI) to two years of rigorous imprisonment in connection with a bribery case.

In another incident, the vigilance court awarded a three-year jail term to Umesh Prasad Das, a retired officer of Gridco in Khurda, in another bribe case. tnn
