On June 30, 2025, A. Sitarama Krishna Rao, Special Judge for CBI Cases in Vijayawada, delivered a verdict in a corruption case against Kola Rama Narasimham, a Development Officer at the United India Insurance Co. Ltd.’s Kandukuru Branch in Prakasam District, Andhra Pradesh. Narasimham was found guilty of demanding and accepting a bribe of ₹10,000 from a complainant. The bribe was allegedly demanded in exchange for forwarding an insurance claim file related to the death of the complainant’s buffalo to the Divisional Office of UII in Guntur.
The CBI Visakhapatnam Branch had laid a trap for Narasimham, catching him red-handed while he was demanding and accepting the bribe. The court convicted Narasimham under sections 7 and 13(2) read with 13(1)(d) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988. As a result, he was sentenced to undergo four years of simple imprisonment and ordered to pay a fine of ₹2,000.
Narasimham was immediately taken into custody and sent to the District Jail in Vijayawada to serve his sentence. The conviction and sentencing of Narasimham serve as a reminder of the CBI’s efforts to combat corruption and hold public servants accountable for their actions. The case highlights the importance of transparency and accountability in public offices, and the consequences that can follow when individuals abuse their positions for personal gain.
The verdict was delivered on June 30, 2025, and Narasimham’s conviction is a significant outcome in the fight against corruption in India. The CBI’s successful investigation and the court’s decision demonstrate the commitment to upholding the law and ensuring that those in positions of power are held accountable for their actions. The case also underscores the need for vigilance and the importance of reporting corruption to the authorities. By doing so, individuals can help to prevent corruption and promote a more transparent and accountable system.
