By IANS,
New Delhi : A Delhi court Monday framed charges against former Samata Party president Jaya Jaitley and two others for graft in a purported defence deal.
Special CBI judge Kawal Jeet Arora framed charges against Jaitley, her former party colleague Gopal Pacherwal, and Major General (retired) S.P. Murgai for corruption in the purported purchase of hand-held thermal imagers.
The case stems out of a sting operation aired by news portal tehelka.com in January 2001.
While the three accused pleaded not guilty, the court ordered the trial to commence April 20.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had submitted its chargesheet against Jaitley and the two others in 2006.
