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.

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.

Delhi HC seeks response from CBI in Manoj Prasad bribery case

CBI had arrested Manoj Prasad, a Dubai based businessman involved in a bribery case which also involved former director general of CBI Rakesh Asthana.

Rakesh Asthana was also arrested by CBI when a Hyderabad based businessman Satish Babu Sana accused him of demanding a bribe to avoid Sana any CBI action in the 2017 case of meat exporter, Moin Qureshi

It was alleged that Prasad acted as a middleman on behalf of Asthana by taking a bribe and offering Satish a clean chit.

CBI is the primary and main investigating agency of India.

Fully known as Central Bureau of Investigation, CBI was formed in 1963 with a view to solve low level cases across India involving corruption, bribery and all economic offences.

The CBI has been accused multiple times of tampering with evidence involving high profile cases and turning the case in favour of the accused. 

CBI was given higher jurisdiction to look into multinational and international level cases later on and the accusations have been levied ever since.

In the case involving Sana, it was alleged that Prasad was in contact with an official from RAW who was in contact with Asthana.

Hence, Asthana was booked on grounds of criminal conspiracy, criminal misconduct and corruption under prevalent sections of Prevention of Corruption Act.

However, a Delhi High court panel involving judge Sanjeev Agarwal gave a clean chit to Asthana and accused CBI of not handling the case properly.

Former CBI DSP Devender Kumar who was the investigating officer earlier in the case involving Qureshi, was arrested in the case of forgery in the statement recorded by Satish. 

Satish had alleged that he had paid the bribe to Kumar to get relief in the case. 

In January, the high court dismissed the pleas of Asthana, Kumar and Prasad seeking quashing of the FIR against them. 

 In May, CBI had requested a plea to the high court for extension of time in the case by 4 months and was allowed by the court.
