New Delhi, February 16
A cop who allegedly extorted over Rs 19 lakh from a doctor, suspected to be linked to the prime accused in the kidney scam, and let him go scot-free will face a test identification parade (TIP).

A court here today gave its nod for the TIP of ASI Ravinder Kumar Singh who along with his six colleagues allegedly extorted the rogue doctor, Dr Upender, suspected to be linked to scam kingpin Dr Amit Kumar.

Metropolitan Magistrate Chandrashekhar, allowing the plea of the Economic Offence Wing of Delhi police, directed the CBI to produce Dr Upender in Tihar Jail for identification of accused Singh on February 18.

Investigation officer Arvind Kumar told the court that the TIP was necessary to confirm the identity of the person whom Dr Upender allegedly paid the money to keep law-enforcers at bay. Singh was arrested on February 14 following reported statement of an accused in the kidney transplant case that he and his six colleagues had taken Rs 19.85 lakh from the driver of Dr Upender for releasing him after he was nabbed. — PTI
