Refuting bribery for bail charge, Ahlmad tells HC the ACB case part of a larger conspiracy

- SHEKHAR SINGH @ New Delhi

Judge shifted as record keeper booked

THE Delhi High Court has transferred a Special Judge (PC Act) from the Rouse Avenue Court to Rohini (North-West Delhi) after the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) registered a case against his Ahlmad (record keeper), Mukesh Kumar, over allegations of bribery in bail matters.

On May 16, the ACB booked Kumar under Sections 7 and 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act and relevant provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), alleging that he had demanded and received bribes from accused persons to facilitate their release on bail.

However, Kumar has strongly refuted the allegations and claimed he has been falsely implicated by ACB officers as part of a larger conspiracy aimed at targeting the judge. He has accused ACB Joint Commissioner Madhur Verma and Assistant Commissioner of Police Jarnail Singh of attempting to settle personal scores with the judge for passing unfavourable orders against the agency.
