June 21st, 2012 - 6:17 pm ICT by IANSNew Delhi, June 21 (IANS) Abhishek Verma, businessman and naval war room leak case accused, and his wife were Thursday sent to judicial custody till July 4 by a special court here in a graft case.
“Both of them are sent to judicial custody till July 4,” Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Special Judge Sanjeev Jain said.
Verma and his wife Anca Neacsu, a Romanian national, were presented in court after the expiry of their CBI custody.
Neacsu moved her bail application and the court asked the CBI to file a reply on her plea. The matter would next be heard July 4.
The CBI June 9 arrested Verma and his wife for allegedly receiving money from a Swiss arms company to stall the blacklisting proceedings initiated against it by the Indian government. They were booked under the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The two accused were arrested a few weeks after the government blacklisted six defence companies, including Switzerland’s Rheinmetall Air Defence (RAD). The CBI June 8 registered a fresh case against Verma and raided his premises.
Verma has been accused of taking $530,000 from RAD for using his influence to stall the blacklisting proceedings against it.
He is also an accused in the 2006 naval war room case linked to leaking classified documents from the directorate of naval operations.
