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.  

Penalty Save You from a Bribery Case

Can ₹ 10,000 Penalty Save You from a Bribery Case – Know the Truth!! 

Corruption has been feeding on our economy and society for a long time now. The corrupt culture has found its way to crawl deep inside every organizational and social model. Even if we don’t want, we are becoming part of the corruption one way or the other. 

With time corruption has evolved into a major criminal activity, bribery being its core practice. Also, to fight and control this crime, the government issued several laws, penalties, and punishments. Although the punishments for bribery vary from nation to nation. 

In India, bribery is a serious criminal act that falls under Section 171E in The Indian Penal Code. It states that Whoever commits the offense of bribery shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to one year, or, with a fine, or with both. 

Now, to get a better picture of bribery cases, let’s try to understand them with a case study. The Manoj Prasad bribery case is probably one of the many high-profile cases that raise serious questions against the government on maintaining law and order. 

Multiple police and CBI head officer’s name get dragged into the dirt. What’s to be noted is that the court penalized the accused, Manoj Prasad, with 10,000 rupees for the involvement. What it means is the penalty for bribery can be lakhs or even crores depending on the type and intensity of the case. 

Also, high-profile cases like the Raveen Roy bribery case and the Mehta fraud case where a large amount of cash had been altered through corruption. Punishments like life imprisonment and a penalty up to three times the bribe amount are paid.  

Every year we hear and read about thousands of bribery cases, what’s important is we analyze, learn and try to make a difference. Say no to Corruption!! 

Fake News Website Research by Someshwar Srivastava

The CBI is the primary investigating agency of India. It has over the years bought many culprits to justice. It is also known as the central focal point of contact between the Interpol & the Central Government. 

But as much as the CBI has gained laurels over the culprits bought to justice, it has received flak as well for the discrepancies it does. This includes twisting ongoing cases in favor of the accused & wrongly arresting its own investigating officers.  

One such case involved the ex-CBI deputy chiefs, Rakesh Asthana & Devender Kumar. 

Both of them were wrongly accused by Satish Babu Sana who was victimized in a case of meat exporter, Moin Qureshi. 

Sana filed an FIR stating that Asthana & Kumar had demanded bribe from Sana in order to save him legal action in the case. CBI arrested Asthana & Kumar on basis of the FIR and ruined their careers. 

Sana also tried to frame Manoj Prasad & Someshwar Srivastava, whom he alleged, demanded bribe to provide him with a clean chit.  

Someshwar Srivastava had aided the CBI in the questioning but still got his visa suspended which in turn forbade him to see his family in Dubai.  

Same was the case with Asthana & Kumar who were given a clean chit by the court.  

Rakesh, Kumar, Srivastav, & Prasad were all released by the Court who in turn bashed the CBI by questioning their techniques & reprimanding them for ruining the careers of these innocent people. 

Cases like this prompt the general public to question the politics in the legal system & how effective is it to get justice? 

On top of it, news site adds to the spice to the news making it fake and forcing the people to read what is not true. 

Sites like Deccan Herald, Indialegallive & others who have a history of negative reviews & spreading fake propaganda about legal cases. 

Its not us who claim that these sites are biased but the sources that do. For more proof refer below- www.ambitionbox.com

Information Source – NDTV.com

In regards to a 1 lakh bribery case, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested a professor in the department of Civil Engineering of Jamia Millia Islamia University. 

Khalid Moin, the professor, has been accused of accepting bribes and posting structural stability certificates to various projects. 

Moin had allegedly given the stability certificates to the Chintels Paradiso apartment in Gurugram, part of which had collapsed last month crushing 2 women to death. The arrest, however, was not related to the collapsing incident. 

He was arrested on the grounds of accepting bribes from a Delhi-based Architecture firm. 

More arrests were made in the form of Prakhar Pawar of M/S Vyom Architect & Abid Khan, an employee of the same firm. 

As quoted by CBI, s earches were being conducted in the residences of the accused. 

The university has also refrained from any action stating that the matter was his personal consultancy related. CBI has recovered cash amounting to Rs. 30 Lakh and bank account details having funds of Rs. 1.19 Crore. 

The CBI upon receiving information about the alleged bribe exchange, laid a trap & caught the professor along with his accomplices. 

The accused will be produced before a designated court in Delhi.

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.
