A court here on Monday deferred till Tuesday the order on the bail plea of Delhi Police constable Arvind Dabas, who along with three others were arrested in the Arun Jaitley phone tapping case.
Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (CMM) Amit Bansal, who was scheduled to pass the order on Monday, deferred it till Tuesday as it was yet to be finalised. Dabas had moved the court seeking bail, saying there was no direct evidence against him and was falsely implicated in the case by the police. He had alleged that he had become a ‘victim of the system’.
He was arrested on 14 February for allegedly trying to access Jaitley's call details. According to police, Dabas had used the official email ID of an Assistant Commissioner of Police to send a request to a mobile service provider for the call detail records of the BJP leader.
His counsel Naushad Ahmad Khan had argued that there was no direct evidence to book his client under section 420 (cheating) of the IPC and the offences he had accused of by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police were bailable.
