Transfer racket: Court denies bail to cop, middleman

A special court today denied bail to a Delhi Police officer and an alleged middleman in a case of bribery for bagging choice postings.
Special Judge Virender Kumar Goyal denied the relief to the cop, Banay Singh Meena, and Arun Tiwari, saying there were chances of the investigation getting hampered and that the stage was not fit for granting of bail.
In their applications seeking relief, both had told the court that they were not required for investigation any more.
Tiwari and Meena are currently in judicial custody along with Intelligence Bureau's Assistant Director Kameshwar and another alleged middleman Rajan Kumar.

The court had sent all the four accused to judicial custody on August 19 after the agency said their further custodial interrogation was not required.
The case was registered on August 9 against them for alleged criminal conspiracy, illegal gratification and commission of offence of abetment by public servant.
"During the course of investigation, the CBI had intercepted the accused persons and recovered the alleged gratification amount of Rs 10 lakh (approx) from the private persons," the agency had claimed, saying it had carried out searches at several premises of the accused in Delhi.
"During the search at the premises of Kumar here, (total) cash amounting to Rs 1.6 crore (approx), certain rubber stamps of various ministries/departments of Government of India and forged letter-heads of various senior government officers and incriminating documents were recovered," it had said.
