NEW DELHI: The CBI on Friday informed a Delhi court about the complicity of a sacked Delhi Police inspector, who, along with four of his colleagues and kingpin Abdul Karim Telgi is facing trial in a multi-crore fake stamp paper case.

Arguing on the framing of charges against sacked Police Inspector Pooran Singh and four others in the case, the probe agency said before Additional Sessions Judge Dinesh Dayal that he had issued Telgi a certificate stating that his stamps were genuine.

It also alleged that the certificate issued by Singh was used by the kingpin to prove genuinity of such stamps to the buyers.

The court which was hearing the arguments on charges against the suspended Inspector and four others -- Head Constables Om Prakash and Gaurav Aggarwal and Constables Ratan Singh and Sanjay Bazad of South District Investigation Unit (DIU) of DP -- has fixed May 16 as next date in the case.

The probe agency stated that the Inspector faced charges of dereliction of duty in his capacity as an investigator in the case.

Earlier, the CBI had framed additional charges against Pooran Singh and contended that they were based on probe findings and their framing did not require court's prior sanction.

The CBI, in its third chargesheet in the case had booked Singh under fresh sections of the IPC which dealt with giving false evidence and causing their disappearance.

The accused persons have been booked under various sections of the IPC including 211 (making false charges to implicate someone), 255 (counterfeiting stamp papers) and 120 B (criminal conspiracy) and various provisions of Prevention of Corruption Act.

All these policemen, in connivance with Telgi, allegedly created false evidence in order to implicate Telgi's rivals --Shankar and Prahlad Singh -- and accepted Rs 70 lakh from him for it, the prosecution has stated.
