The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Friday told a Delhi court that arms dealer Abhishek Verma was not a “credible witness” and on the basis of his statement, no case of influencing witness and making hawala transactions can be lodged against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler, who was given a clean chit by the agency in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.
CBI prosecutor argued that no complaint was made before the police regarding allegations that Tytler had influenced any witness, so Verma’s statement does not attract any offence under section 195A of IPC against the Congress leader.
Prosecutor PK Srivastava was replying to a court’s query as to what efforts have been made by CBI to ascertain claims of Verma that Tytler had influenced a witness and made hawala transactions.
