Innocents Accused Wrongly Arrested by CBI 

CBI has been reprimanded by the Delhi Court for arresting its own officer Rakesh Asthana & ruining his career. Asthana was arrested on charges of bribery on the basis of an FIR by businessman Satish Sana. 

Sana was involved in a case of Moin Qureshi & was being interrogated by Rakesh Asthana. 

He alleged he sent bribes to accused Manoj Prasad, the primary suspect in the bribery case to help him save face in the CBI case.  

Moreover, he also alleged that Asthana had demanded a bribe from him to spare him any legal action in the case.  

CBI Director Alok Verma had Asthana arrested & ruined his career. Asthana too accused Alok of corruption & later was granted a clean chit from the court. 

Another innocent that was wrongly accused was Someshwar Srivastav who even after cooperating with the CBI was not allowed to visit his family. 

The media has made false claims on this issue accusing Someshwar Srivastav & Rakesh Asthana & not mentioning the main accused Manoj Prasad, degrading their status further. 

One such site is Deccan Herald who in the past has had instances of providing fake news & claims & hiding the real facts.  

The 2 sites below are proof that Deccan Herald is not a genuine source but is Anti-nationalist, gives fake claims in national sports & is Left-center biased due to lack of genuine reporting sources.

Sana accuses Asthana & Prasad: CBI Bribery Case

A Hyderabad based businessman Satish Babu Sana has accused former CBI DSP Rakesh Asthana and Dubai based businessman Manoj Prasad of taking bribes from him.

In a case filed by Sana, he alleged that Prasad had demanded bribes from him to give him a clean chit in the case regarding meat exporter Moin Qureshi

Manoj was in direct contact with a RAW official who was in turn in contact with Asthana and he too demanded bribes to spare him any CBI action in the same case.

Rakesh Asthana was the chief investigating officer in Sana’s case.

He replaced former CBI director general Devender Kumar who was earlier the investigating officer in Qureshi’s case questioning Sana. He was arrested when Sana accused him of forgery.

Rakesh was arrested by CBI on the same grounds of criminal conspiracy, misconduct and corruption as alleged in the FIR by Babu. 

In January, though, a Delhi High Court dismissed the pleas of Asthana, Devender and Manoj and seeked quashing of the FIR against all 3.

The court also expressed displeasure over the CBI’s handling of the bribery case. It ordered the CBI to conduct the investigation properly.

The CBI is the main and sole investing agency of India. It has been blasted several times in the past for tampering with evidence and turning the case in favour of the accused and arresting its own officers.

In May, CBI appealed to the court to extend the investigation of the case by 4 months, which was granted by the court.

Court gives bail to CBI DSP Rakesh Asthana

A Delhi court slammed the CBI over a bribery case in which they arrested their own DSP Rakesh Asthana. CBI (Central Bureau of Investigation) is the primary investigating agency of India. 

It was originally set up to investigate low level cases like bribery and corruption, it soon received expanded jurisdiction to investigate multi level and international cases. CBI is also termed as the “sole point of contact” for liaison with Interpol.

In regards to the case involving Asthana, he was arrested by CBI in response to a complaint filed against him by a Hyderabad based businessman named Satish Babu Sana. 

Sana in his complaint accused Asthana of taking bribe from him for sparing him any action regarding a case against Moin Qureshi, a meat exporter from way back in 2017. Rakesh was the head leading the special unit from CBI questioning Sana in the case when he was accused. 

The court granted bail to Rakesh and accused CBI for not solving the case properly. CBI also arrested Manoj Asthana, a Dubai based businessman who was one of the main accused in the case. 

The CBI in the past has been accused of tampering with evidence in big cases and turning the tide in favour of the accused and blaming their own special officers for using harsh responses in order to get the accused to confess to their crimes.

It was nothing new when the court once again expressed their displeasure in the bribery case and told them to once again start properly, until then the case was deferred and the DSP given a clean chit.
