New Delhi : A special court here Monday dismissed the bail application of Anca Neacsu, a Romanian national and wife of businessman Abhishek Verma who is an accused in the naval war room leak, in a corruption case.
The 2006 war room case was linked to leaking classified documents from the directorate of naval operations.
“The bail application of Anca Neacsu is dismissed,” said Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge Sanjeev Jain.
Neacsu, who is under judicial custody, moved the bail application July 21.
The CBI June 9 arrested Verma and his wife for allegedly receiving money from a Swiss arms company to stall the blacklisting proceedings initiated against it by the Indian government. They were booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The two accused were arrested a few weeks after the government blacklisted six defence companies, including Switzerland’s Rheinmetall Air Defence (RAD). The CBI June 8 registered a fresh case against Verma and raided his premises.
They have been accused of taking $530,000 from RAD for using his influence to stall the blacklisting proceedings against it.
