Court convicts Telgi for conspiring with police personnel

A court today convicted fake stamp paper scam kingpin Abdul Karim Telgi of entering into criminal conspiracy with public servants, including a Delhi police Inspector, during 1999 to 2001 to influence a probe into the cases.
    
Special CBI judge PS Teji pronounced Telgi guilty in the case as he had admitted his offence.
    
The court is likely to pronounce the sentence against Telgi on May 12.
    
Telgi is afflicted with HIV and is now lodged in a Bangalore jail.
    
According to CBI's chargesheet, Telgi had conspired with inspector Puran Singh, sub-inspector Gaurav Aggarwal, head constable Om Prakash and constables Sanjay Bajaj and Ratan Singh during 1999 - 2001.
    
Singh, who was then probing a case of fake stamps registered at Defence Colony police station in south Delhi, had been accused of taking bribes from Telgi.
    
The court is conducting proceedings relating to framing of charges against Singh and other accused in the case as they had pleaded not guilty and claimed trial.
