The three accused in Rs 10 crore cash-for-post railway bribery scam today raised question over the CBI's decision to make former railway minister Pawan Kumar Bansal a witness in the case, stressing that the CBI should have made Bansal an accused in the case but he has been acquitted.
The lawyers of Rahul Yadav, Sameer Sandhir and Sushil Daga told a Delhi Court during arguments on the clients’ bail pleas that the CBI is "implicating" them and their clients were not involved in the "principal conspiracy" in the case.
"The day when you (CBI) made Mr Bansal a witness in this case, this court should have discharged all the accused. In which direction the investigation is going on? They (CBI) are implicating these poor persons (Yadav, Sandhir and Daga) and the person who should have been made accused is set free," advocate SK Sharma told Special CBI Judge Swarana Kanta Sharma.
The court will pass the order on bail plea on May 09. Earlier, the CBI filed its chargesheet on July 2 against 10 accused, including Bansal's nephew Vijay Singla.
