GURUGRAM: Suspended IPS officer Dheeraj Sethia, who is an accused in the multi-crore heist case, applied for anticipatory bail before the session court of Gurugram, on Friday. The hearing has been scheduled for Monday.
Sethia was accused in the case by the special task force (STF) of Haryana Police, which is probing the matter, based on the disclosure statement of Dr Sachinder Jain Naval, the prime accused in the case.
Earlier in December, the STF had made Sethia an accused in the case and added additional sections, including those under the Anti-Corruption Act. On December 10, the state government had suspended the IPS officer, who is alleged to have taken Rs 3.5 crores from Dr Naval for settling the case.
Cash amounting to several crores were allegedly stolen from two flats owned by the developer of a Sector 84 residential society in August. Two doctors – GP Singh and Sachinder Jain Naval – were arrested for informing a gangster about the cash and help plan and execute the crime. The Gurugram court on December 18 issued an arrest warrant against IPS Dheeraj Sethia.
