Drama Unfolds: Corruption Probe Team Overhaul at Delhi High Court

The Delhi High Court announced a significant development in the ongoing corruption case against a court staffer. The investigation team, previously accused of bias, has been reconstituted at the behest of the Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB).

Justice Tushar Rao Gedela heard from the ACB following earlier concerns about the impartiality of the investigating officer, which prompted a push towards a revamped investigation team. The court's attention was drawn to claims that the FIR and accusations against the staffer were potential attempts to retaliate against a trial court judge.

Detailed discussions also focused on the anticipatory bail plea and the demand for a probe transfer to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Allegations suggest the earlier investigation sought to frame the judge in retaliation for a contempt reference issued to the ACB's joint commissioner.
