A court here on Tuesday granted bail to an Intelligence Bureau official, a Delhi Police Inspector and two alleged middlemen in a case related to transfer and postings of government officials.

Special Judge Virender Kumar Goyal granted bail to IB Assistant Director Kameshwar, Delhi Police Inspector Banay Singh Meena and two alleged middlemen Rajan Kumar and Arun Tiwari, directing them to furnish personal bonds of Rs 50,000 each.

A chargesheet was filed against the four by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on October 7.

On August 11, the CBI had arrested the IB and Delhi Police officials, two days after registering an FIR against them. Rajan and Arun were arrested later.

 

According to the CBI FIR, Meena, posted in the Delhi Police Security Wing, conspired with Tiwari for "ensuring undue favours related to transfers and postings of public servants" and paid him a bribe of Rs 10 lakh which was to be delivered to Rajan Kumar in "coordination" with the IB official.

The CBI has conducted searches at four locations in Delhi and seized Rs 1.6 crore and rubber stamps of various ministries and fake letterheads of government officials from the residences of the accused.
