The laptop and iPad of Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s principal secretary Rajendra Kumar, against whom a graft case has been lodged, cannot be released now as they have been sent for forensic analysis, CBI told a special court on Saturday.
The agency, however, said it had no objection in releasing him the cash amount of Rs 2.39 lakh which was seized during the December last year raid, provided that Kumar furnishes a security of the like amount. It also said Kumar’s laptop and iPad had been sent to CFSL, Hyderabad, for forensic analysis.
CBI’s reply came on Kumar’s application seeking release of his laptop, iPad and cash seized during the investigation.
Special CBI Judge Ajay Kumar Jain fixed the matter for hearing arguments on the plea on May 2.
Kumar, in his plea, had sought the return of his articles as investigation was over and the items would be of no use to the probe agency.
