Delhi cop moves court in drug seizure case: ‘Unfair probe by state’

The application was moved by Kumar, posted with the Anti-Extortion and Kidnapping Cell of the Delhi Police Crime Branch, last month before the court of Special NDPS judge Tarun Sehrawat at Saket court. The matter is to come up for hearing on October 16, when police are supposed to file a response to the plea.

This, even as Kumar, who police said has been absconding since the registration of the case at Sunlight Colony police Station in Southeast Delhi in January, has moved two anticipatory bail pleas — in February and early July.

In his latest plea, Kumar stated the CCTV footage pertaining to the case indicates that the sequence of events narrated by the prosecution “is false”. “… in such circumstances, it is clear that the investigation being carried out is not independent and fair”, said the plea.

His counsel has stated there were “material contradictions” in what has been stated in the FIR and the contents of the chargesheet. The plea further said in view of the mentioned facts, the case be directed to be transferred to another department of the Delhi Police.

During the hearing of his first bail plea, police had stated that it had obtained CCTV footage showing SI Kumar entering the Ashram house. Police had also told the court that call detail records and WhatsApp chats showed SI Kumar was in touch with the arrested accused.

Kumar had joined the force in 1990. His anticipatory bail plea is listed before judge Sehrawat on November 22. He is being represented by advocates Ashok Anand and Dharmendra Rana.
