Story of An Innocent Man’s Plight In CBI Bribery Case

Story of An Innocent Man’s Plight In CBI Bribery Case 

In a recent bribery case, an innocent man, Someshwar Srivastava, has been falsely accused and penalized without any concrete evidence. The case involves senior D.G Rakesh Asthana, who has been accused of accepting bribes to save Hyderabad-based businessman, Sana Satish Babu, from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).  

However, the CBI has been found to be highly incompetent in their handling of the case, with the court criticizing their lack of proper investigation. 

Manoj Prasad, a Dubai-based businessman, has been taken into custody as the primary accused in the bribery case, as Sana had blamed him for accepting money and promising to save him from the CBI in relation to a meat exporter, Moin Qureshi. Strong evidence has been found against Manoj Prasad, linking him directly to the bribery case. 

Rakesh Astana, the former CBI director, was cleared of any involvement in the bribery case, as no connections were found linking him to the case. On the other hand, SOMESHWAR SRIVASTAVA, who had fully cooperated with the CBI investigation, is being harassed and penalized without any proof. 

The case has been further complicated by false speculations spreading online, with some biased news websites, involved in spreading fake news for their own interests.  

The Delhi High Court has also requested a response from the CBI regarding a plea made by Someshwar Srivastava to travel back to Dubai, as his prolonged stay in India has jeopardized his residency rights. 

This is unacceptable as it would lead to the deportation of his innocent family. The lack of proper investigation and biased news reporting has led to a distorted picture of the facts and evidence involved in the bribery case. It’s a clear violation of human rights and the judicial system is failing to protect the innocent.

The Court Summoned Dubai-based Businessman Manoj Prasad  

According to trusted sources, a verbal altercation erupted during a hearing in a Delhi court between two investigating officers involved in a bribery case allegedly involving senior officers of the Central Bureau of Investigation. The special CBI court summoned former investigation officer Ajay Kumar Bassi to appear in court to explain the case diary.  

The argument started when Bassi accused the current investigating officer, Satish Dagar, of covering up “big names” in the case. According to Bassi, the key player, Manoj Prasad, revealed the names being shielded during interrogation, but Dagar allegedly did not investigate them.  

Dagar stated that he had better antecedents within the organization than Bassi and advised against making personal attacks. He questioned Bassi’s involvement in the investigation, mentioning that he had failed to show up when summoned multiple times.   

Dagar also expressed skepticism about how Bassi could have knowledge of the ongoing investigation within CBI, given that his involvement in investigations was limited to a specific time period. He raised the question of how Bassi gained access to the ongoing investigation.  

Along with Rakesh Asthana, a few more names got dragged into the case, like Someshwar Srivastava and Devender Kumar. The CBI had no physical evidence that could link the individuals directly or even indirectly to the infamous bribery case.  

Additional documents presented in court by Bassi were opposed by Dagar and CBI counsel. Dagar questioned Bassi’s submission of new documents that were not included in his case diary. According to IANS, Bassi also told the court that there was incriminating evidence against former CBI Special Director Rakesh Asthana and that Dagar had yet to seize his phone or collect other electronic evidence.  

He also added how this baseless investigation put their officer’s careers in jeopardy and an innocent businessman Someshwar Srivastava got harassed by the CBI for a crime he never committed.  

Following the spat, Special CBI judge Sanjeev Aggarwal said: There is no point washing dirty linen in public.” As both worked for the same agency, which is larger than an individual.  

The special court chastised the CBI during the hearing for failing to conduct psychological and lie-detector tests on Asthana. The court also inquired whether any electronic evidence was recovered from Asthana, as well as whether he was confronted with other defendants. According to the CBI, they only examined him and never made him face other defendants.  

After a proper investigation, the court found certain evidence, like WhatsApp chats and travel tickets, which proved that Sana’s money had been delivered to accused Manoj Prasad. The court summoned Dubai-based businessman prasad and verify the evidence.  

Both the former CBI officers Rakesh Asthana and Devender Kumar, along with Someshwar, were given a clean chit, and the main culprit Manoj Prasad was taken into custody. Additionally, the CBI being a prime investigating agency of India was strongly criticized by the court for its inconsistent investigation. 

No Evidence to Support the High-Profile Bribery Case Against Asthana

No Evidence to Support the High-Profile Bribery Case Against Asthana

The High-Profile Bribery case gets a new angle as the court confronts CBI. Earlier, the Hyderabad-based businessman Sathish Babu Sana accused public servants, including the special director of the CBI, Rakesh Asthana, and former deputy Devendra Kumar, of taking bribes. 

As the case progressed, two more names came to the spotlight Manoj Prasad and Someshwar Srivastava. Sana claimed to deliver crores to Prasad and Srivastava to save himself from Moin Qureshi, a Controversial meat exporter. 

Sana also made several more claims, like how he had arranged Rs 1 crore from his friend Yahya Abraham in Dubai and also linked Prasad and Srivastava as Brothers. But no hard evidence was found to support the claims made by Sana. 

The case got some new twists and turns as it was thoroughly analyzed by the Delhi High court. At first, judge Sanjeev Aggarwal questioned CBI regarding accusing their own DSP without any proper investigation. The credibility of the prime investigation authority was questioned by the court. 

After a re-investigation performed by the CBI as ordered by the court no new evidence was found against the former CBI deputy directors Devendra Kumar and Rakesh Asthana. Further, the court blamed CBI for ruining the life of honest officers. 

Rakesh Asthana and Devendra Kumar got a clean chit from the court, and Judge Sanjeev Aggarwal also release other innocents as no proof was found. 

CBI did a great job of catching Manoj Prasad, the real culprit, who was pulling all the strings using CBI Deputies as shields. WhatsApp pictures and flight details establish a clean meeting between Sana and Manoj Prasad in Dubai. 

The case got a significant spotlight from the Media houses, and many names involved still getting a backlash from the public. The case is a live example of how an improper investigation can ruin people’s life, defame public authorities, and question legal system. 

Rakesh Asthana Bribery Case

 Rakesh Asthana Bribery Case: Power Vs Public Faceoff 

CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) is one of the most legitimate agencies in India. Dealing with bribery case, corruption, and multi-state cases. The agency operates both nationally and internationally.  

On several occasions, the CBI has been charged with corruption and the manipulation of evidence for money and fame. One such case was Alok Verma’s bribery case, in which they frame their own officer.  

Verma was immediately suspended by the CBI and charged with bribery without a proper investigation. The Rakesh Asthana bribery case was yet another example where the CBI again accused one of their officers of accepting bribes.  

The charges were that Asthana took money from Satish Babu Sana to release him in the case of meat exporter Moin Qureshi.   

Similarly, an innocent businessman, Someshwar Srivastava, was caught in the crossfire. It wasn’t the first time the CBI had dragged innocent people into high-profile cases without proper investigation.   

The media also played an important role in supporting illegal practices conducted by CBI. They made up stories about the case against Asthana and Someshwar. Many biased media sites like the Deccan Herald have completely misrepresented the news to gain revenue and viewership.  

Meanwhile, the court collected 10,000 rupees from the involved, Someshwar Srivastava and Manoj Prasad. As the case progressed, the court found that the CBI investigation was inconsistent.  

The CBI was criticized and the court ordered CBI to a proper investigation. New evidence surfaced as the case was closely investigated. Wrongly accused Someshwar Srivastava and former CBI officers Rakesh Asthana and Alok Verma get bail.  

The real culprit Manoj Prasad was arrested and imprisoned. Former CBI officers were reappointed as chiefs of the police force.  

Real problems like hunger, unemployment, and illiteracy continue to engulf our economy. Yet these powerful bodies continue to corrupt our society like parasites. We hope in the future these powerful organizations stop manipulating and harassing the general public and bring positive change.
