The special court for the trial of cases, investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), in Coimbatore on Thursday dismissed a discharge petition filed by IPS officer Pramod Kumar in an extortion case pending against him since 2012, which is linked to the multi-crore Paazee forex scam.

Dismissing the petition, S. Govindharajan directed all the five accused in the case, including Mr. Kumar, to appear before the court for the framing of charges in the case on November 28 without fail.

Public prosecutor Surendra Mohan, who appeared for the CBI, said that the Madras High Court had directed the special court in September to frame charges against the accused and to proceed with the trial from November 4.
