Seeking bail, the duo had told the court that they do not have past antecedents and have fully cooperated with the probe.
The two IT inspectors Dilip Kumar, 40 and Ashish Kumar, 32 had been part of an IT department search team that had conducted a search of the premises of an air cargo service firm’s office and the office of its managing director Ismail M. Khan. The department had seized various documents and devices as part of their search and sealed his office cabin. As per Khan’s complaint to the CBI (ACB), he was approached by Dilip Kumar who demanded Rs. 20 lakhs and Ashish Kumar who demanded Rs. 10 lakhs to help him with the probe against him.
Another officer SN Rai also offered to help in exchange for a bribe, but did not specify the amount he expected, Khan’s complaint said. Upon verification by the CBI (ACB) it was established that Dilip Kumar had demanded Rs. 10 lakhs and Ashish Kumar Rs. 5 lakhs. The ACB laid a trap and both were caught redhanded accepting the respective amounts. They were then arrested.
