FIR against cops for frame-up
The special cell of the Delhi police on Friday told a Delhi court that a case has been registered against two senior officers of the anti-corruption branch (ACB) of the Delhi government and others for allegedly framing an inspector in a graft case.
Chief metropolitan magistrate (CMM) Vinod Yadav was informed by the special cell that a case under Sections 120-B (criminal conspiracy), 471 (forgery), 193 (falsification of documents) and 201 (destruction of evidence) of the IPC has been registered against joint commissioner (ACB), N. Dilip Kumar and the deputy commissioner (ACB), I.D. Shukla. They have also been booked under the Information Technology Act. The case was registered on Thursday.
Earlier, the court had directed the Delhi police on December 3 to register an FIR against the officials on the basis of a complaint filed by suspended inspector K.G. Tyagi, who was then posted with the crime branch.
Tyagi had submitted before the court that the officials concerned had implicated him in the corruption case by registering an FIR against him on October 17, 2008, which led to his arrest and suspension from service. He had also alleged that the officials destroyed electronic evidence, comprising intercepted telephonic conversations in the matter and forged documents to nail him.
In the FIR registered by the ACB, Tyagi was accused of having extorted `26 lakhs from Abhinav Krishan Aggarwal, son of a murder case accused Gopal Krishan Aggarwal, for not invoking Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) against him.
The inspector in question had also sought registration of FIR against Gopal and Abhinav, who had lodged the complaint against him with the ACB.
Gopal is already in judicial custody along with eight others, including former deputy mayor Ashok Jain, in connection with murder of a property dealer in 2007. Tyagi was investigating the case.
