The charge sheet, running into 2,343 pages, was filed in the court of special judge Sangeeta Dhingra Sehgal in New Delhi who took it into the records and fixed January 29, the next date of hearing, for taking it on cognizance.
Delhi police on Saturday filed a chargesheet against senior IAS officer Ravi Inder Singh, accused of passing sensitive information of the ministry of home affairs to unauthorised persons in return for personal gains.
The charge sheet, running into 2,343 pages, was filed in the court of special judge Sangeeta Dhingra Sehgal in New Delhi who took it into the records and fixed January 29, the next date of hearing, for taking it on cognizance.
Police have filed the chargesheet after getting the nod of the home ministry recently.
The chargesheet also names Vineet Kumar (CMD of Kolkata-based Temptation Food Pvt Ltd), as co-accused under various sections of the IPC and the prevention of corruption act dealing with criminal conspiracy, destruction of evidence and bribing a government official.
The chargesheet contains transcripts of the recorded conversations of Singh and co-accused Kumar. The voice samples of the accused duo, taken during the probe, have matched with that of taped conversations at the forensic laboratory, the chargesheet said. Police have named 45 persons as prosecution witnesses.
Singh, who is in jail since his arrest by Delhi police on November 23, has recently moved the High Court for grant of bail. The chargesheet claimed that as many as 12,000 calls of the accused were intercepted and the IAS officer was using code words like “software” for “flesh trade” and “hardware” for “accommodation” which he sought as benefits for the works performed. Singh, the then Director Internal Security in the MHA, along with Kumar who was allegedly acting as a middleman for him, was arrested by Delhi police's special cell.
Instead of government accommodation, Singh stayed in a private guest house and the monthly rent of Rs50,000 was being paid by Kumar's company since his deputation to New Delhi from Kolkata in January this year. He also allegedly used a car provided by Kumar, police said.
