Graft Case: Kkusum fame Anuj Saxena surrenders in court
Kkusum fame Anuj Saxena surrenders in court in relation to Graft Case.
Last year in October, Kkusum fame TV actor Anuj Saxena was directed to surrender before CBI by a special court in a graft case, in which co-accused and senior bureaucrat B K Bansal allegedly committed suicide.
Back then, in his anticipatory bail plea, Saxena's counsel claimed, "If I (Saxena) am in custody, my condition will be same as of Bansal. Please grant me protection from arrest. I will cooperate in the investigation." On this, the court had said, "There are other persons also in custody in this case. Has everyone committed suicide? Everyone's case differ from person to person. CBI will take care of this."
In the latest development, Anuj surrendered before a Delhi court in connection with a graft case. As per a report in a media agency, Saxena was asked by the Delhi High Court to surrender by February 17. And today he made himself available before Special Judge Gurdeep Singh.
The high court had on February 13 issued the direction after Saxena's lawyer decided to withdraw the anticipatory bail plea moved by him when the court said it was "not inclined to grant the relief" as the accused appeared to be the "ultimate beneficiary".
As per CBI, Saxena had played a direct role in bribing Bansal to ensure that he does not order an SFIO inspection against his company on charges of illegal collection of Rs 175 crore from 24,000 investors, diversion of funds to companies abroad and not filing returns on time.
Bansal, who was out on bail, allegedly hung himself along with his son at their residence on September 26-27, 2016 with a purported suicide note claiming "harassment" by CBI. The incident occurred nearly two months after his wife and daughter committed suicide after a CBI raid at their residence.
