Delhi Court Denies Bail To Anil Deshmukh's Lawyer Anand Daga, Sub Inspector In Alleged Document Leakage Case

A Delhi Court on Wednesday denied bail to former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh's lawyer, Anand Daga and Sub-Inspector Abhishek Tiwari in connection with the the allegations of leaking sensitive information thereby subverting investigation into the corruption case.Special CBI Judge Vimal Kumar Yadav today rejected the bail plea filed by both Daga and Tiwari in the matter.The Court had sent the duo to 14 days judicial custody earlier this week while dismissed the application moved by CBI seeking further police remand for five days."In these circumstances, when the accused persons have remained in CBI custody for 4 days, there appears no reason to further extend their CBI custody as nothing new showing the nature of data extracted and the confrontation of the same is before the Court. Application stands declined," the Court ordered while sending the two to judicial custody.The Court further directed the duo to be produced next on September 20, on the expiry of their judicial custody.The Court had earlier extended their CBI custody by two days after the agency had sought 7 days additional custody remand for them.CBI had arrested Daga and Tiwari earlier this week from Mumbai and Delhi respectively. After being produced before a Magistrate's Court in Mumbai, transit remand was given for Daga thereby directing his production before a Delhi Court.Accordingly, Daga and Tiwari were both produced before the Special CBI Judge of the Rouse Avenue Court on Thursday.The FIR was registered against Daga, Tiwari and unknown others alleging that they entered into a criminal conspiracy for the purpose of disclosing the case sensitive and confidential documents to Anand Daga in lieu of undue advantage and illegal gratification.The said FIR has been registered under sec. 120B of IPC and sec. 7 and 8 of Prevention of Corruption Act.Title: CBI v. Abhishek Tiwari & Ors.
