New Delhi : A case against the Delhi anti-corruption wing chief and seven others was registered Friday on a complaint of a suspended police officer who claimed that official records were forged to implicate him in a corruption case, police said.
Delhi Police’s Special Cell registered a case against Joint Commissioner (Vigilance) N. Dalipkumar, former deputy commissioner of police (Anti-Corruption Branch) I.D. Shukla, two assistant commissioners, two inspectors and a senior scientific officer of Forensic Science Laboratory.
They have been charged under sections 469 (forgery), 471 (using forged documents as genuine), 120B (criminal conspiracy), 193 (giving false evidence during judicial proceedings) and 196 (using false evidence) on a complaint by K.G. Tyagi, an inspector in the Crime Branch suspended in 2008 on corruption charges.
In his complaint, Tyagi alleged that the officials implicated him in a corruption case and registered an FIR against him Oct 17, 2008, leading to his arrest and suspension from the job.
He also alleged that they destroyed the electronic evidence of intercepted conversations in the matter and forged official records to strengthen their case.
The Anti-Corruption Branch alleged that Tyagi had extorted Rs.26 lakh from Abhinav Krishan Aggarwal, son of a murder accused Gopal Krishan Aggarwal, for not invoking the stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act(MCOCA) against his father.
Gopal Aggarwal and eight others, including former deputy mayor Ashok Jain, are facing trial for their alleged involvement in a case relating to the murder of a property dealer in 2007. The murder case was investigated by Tyagi.
