CBI registered the first case under the Indian Justice Code, the whole matter is related to Tihar Jail

The CBI has registered its first FIR under the new Indian Justice Code against two Delhi Police personnel. The central agency said on Thursday that this case had been registered for demanding a bribe of Rs 10 lakh to help in the release of a person lodged in Tihar Jail.

The Indian Justice Code has replaced the British-era Indian Penal Code (IPC). The CBI said that on Wednesday evening, a case was registered against Head Constable Ravindra Dhaka and Parveen Saini posted in the Narcotics Cell at Maurice Nagar, Delhi under the provisions of criminal conspiracy under the new law 61 (2) and bribery under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

It is claimed that the accused police personnel demanded a bribe of Rs 10 lakh to assist in the release of the complainant's brother, who was imprisoned in Tihar Jail. Actually, NRX medicines were recovered from the jailed individual. The victim complained to the CBI that the medicines were wrongfully shown to his brother Koshinder.

At the same time, the CBI said that Ravindra Dhaka and Parveen Saini demanded a bribe from the complainant in order to supply information about NRX drugs, which was then used to prepare bogus bills and present them before the relevant court.

The CBI provided the complainant with a secret recorder to verify his statements. Accused Ravindra Dhaka allegedly informed the complainant that the investigating officer would settle the case for Rs2.50 crore.
