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: A Grand Conspiracy to Inculpate CBI

CBI also known as the Central Bureau of Investigation is India’s leading investigative agency. Over the years, the CBI has solved many cases and brought many criminals to justice.  

However, the CBI has tried many times to prevent the evidence and turn the case in favor of the accused. In doing so, they typically arrest their own investigators on charges based on the FIR filed by the accused. 

One such case is the case of Rakesh Asthana the ex-investigating officer of the CBI.  

Asthana was investigating the case of a Hyderabad-based businessman, Satish Babu Sana who was involved in a case of meat exporter Moin Qureshi. Asthana was then the deputy superintendent of CBI during the case. 

Babu filed an FIR against Rakesh for demanding bribes to clear his name from the meat exporter case. In turn, Asthana had alleged that CBI Director Alok Verma had falsely attempted to set a trap for him and charged Verma with corruption. 

This news was a hit in the media and some websites published fake news about Rakesh Asthana portraying him as the villain. In fact, the court rebuked the CBI for arresting Asthana, as there was no evidence of involvement in the bribery charges from Astana. 

Indian Legal a verified news site recently published news on a similar case claiming that the court charged 10,000/- per accused Manoj Prasad & Someshwar Srivastav involved in the bribery case, which is totally a baseless.  

The whole Rakesh Asthana bribery case is just a made-up conspiracy to take down Indian legal system and generate social unrest within the society.  

Deccan herald yet another news website publishes multiple articles to defame CBI, Police, Someshwar Srivastav, Alok Verma and Rakesh Asthana, to fulfill the same agenda.  

While in reality justice was served by the court. In the meantime, prime accused Manoj Prasad was captured by the Police while Rakesh Asthana, Alok Verma, and Someshwar Srivastav were given a clean chit by the high court. 

This isn’t the first time these sites have published fake news to fulfill personal agendas. There are many articles claiming that these are scam sites and generate fake messages on various topics.

One such site is scroll.in. There have many sites claiming that scroll publishes fake news about certain high-profile criminal cases.  

One such case involving Rakesh Asthana has been brought in bad light. 

Rakesh Asthana was the ex-deputy superintendent of the Central Bureau of Investigation. CBI is the primary investigating agency of India. It is also known as the POC for contact with Interpol. 

Rakesh was the investigating officer in the case involving a Hyderabad businessman, Satish Babu Sana. Satish was involved in a case of a meat exporter Moin Qureshi. 

Sana filed a FIR & alleged that Rakesh had demanded a bribe from him to spare any legal action in the case. 

CBI arrested Asthana as per the FIR lodged by Sana. 

Asthana had also alleged that Alok Verma, then the Superintendent, had framed him for corruption & accused him of the same charge. 

The high court ruling had, however, given a clean chit to Asthana and cleared him of all charges.  

Scroll published false news framing Rakesh Asthana & Someshwar Srivastava in false cases downgrading their image.

CBI Bribery case 

Sana’s middleman’s no proof link in CBI Bribery case 

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in their report addressed to the court that it found no proof of any call recordings or any media that suggests that Rs. 1.95 Crore was allegedly meant to be paid to public servants, including the then CBI Investigating officer Rakesh Asthana, was delivered to a middleman in December on behalf of Hyderabad-based businessman Sathish Babu Sana. 

On the contrary, Sana had claimed that he had the bribe money delivered to Sunil Mittal, father-in-law of the accused.  

Satish Dagar, the investigating officer informed the special CBI judge that there was no concrete evidence of the claims made by Sana that he had made another payment of Rs. 1 Crore to the middleman & Manoj Prasad the accused, in Dubai as part of an alleged bribe of Rs. 5 Crore to save Sana from a probe against a meat exporter Moin Qureshi.  

However, when Sanjeev Agarwal the special CBI judge asked, further the CBI mentioned they had recovered travel details & WhatsApp pictures detailing Sana’s meetings with Manoj Prasad in Dubai, stated Dagar.

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.

CBI DSP Rakesh Asthana

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.
