THE CENTRAL Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a chargesheet against Ravinder Singla, an inspector in the special crime branch of the agency in a graft case. Singla allegedly demanded a Honda City from a businessman based in Chandigarh.

The CBI also chargesheeted Singla’s accomplice Gautam Sharma, a resident of Delhi, for extortion. The case would be heard again on November 13.
The CBI framed the charges against Singla under Section 7, Section 13(1)D of Prevention of Corruption Act (PCA) and Section 384 (extortion) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Sharma was charged under sections 384 (extortion) and 120B (criminal conspiracy) of IPC.

Singla was arrested by a CBI team from Delhi on May 26, 2016, after T K Sharma, manager of Nectar Life Sciences Limited, a pharmaceutical company at Sector 9, lodged a complaint against Singla that the officer was using the company’s Honda City and despite several requests, the accused did not return the car and even threatened to implicate Sharma in a false case if they did not stop demanding their car back from him.

Sharma alleged in his complainant that Singla came to his office and demanded a car to go to Delhi to attend a meeting, saying his official vehicle had broken down. Sharma alleged that Singla refused to return the car once he returned from the meeting. Singla was posted in the special crime branch which deals with several cases referred by the Punjab and Haryana High Court for investigation.
