Court turns down CBI’s plea on Uday Shankar’s remand New Delhi, May 25 Special Judge Aruna Suresh dismissed the plea of the CBI saying that accused Shankar was already in custodial remand for three days and he was not nabbed while demanding and accepting the bribe. However, the Judge extended the custodial remand of Sanjeev Kumar, who had accepted the money on behalf of alleged Gurgaon-based conduit Naveen Kumar. Accused Shankar, Delhi-based naptha importer S. K. Gupta and Naveen Kumar had been remanded in judicial custody till June 8. Counsel Ravi Prakash Gupta and Ramesh Gupta appearing for Shankar, opposed further extension of police remand of Shankar, saying that he was not involved in the bribery. Neither he demanded nor he accepted any money from anybody, they pleaded. During the searches on his official and residential premises, the CBI did not find any incriminating documents or any property disproportionate to his known sources of income, they argued. While seeking two more days police remand, the CBI said accused Sanjeev was a ‘fraud’, who used to introduce himself as an IPS officer. Accused Shankar, Gupta, Naveen and Sanjeev were arrested by the CBI on May 22, on charges of conniving with dealers and selling adulterated petroleum products in the market. The CBI learnt that the officer was allegedly taking bribe and had amassed property disproportionate to his known sources of income. During a secret surveillance, it was learnt that he was allegedly accepting the bribe through Naveen from several businessman and officials. The sleuths learnt that the official had demanded Rs 7 lakh from Gupta, who has a naptha plant at Ghaziabad.
