CBI, which is probing the alleged bribery case involving Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) CEO Rakesh Kumar, is contemplating filing a case of Disproportionate Assets (DA) against him.
‘We are presently scrutinising the documents and articles seized so far to ascertain the possibility of a DA case against him,’ a CBI official said.
Meanwhile, a special CBI court today remanded Kumar to judicial custody till 12 September. He will be lodged in Taloja Jail in Navi Mumbai.
The court is likely to hear his bail application tomorrow, Kumar’s advocate Mahesh Vaswani said.
CBI today told the court that on 16 August, two days before Kumar’s arrest, his wife Surabhi had in a ‘hush-hush’ way operated the locker held by her at Axis Bank in Delhi.
‘Surabhi Sharma had operated her locker in hush-hush manner. It is suspected that she removed incriminating documents and articles from the locker,’ CBI said in its remand application.
