NEW DELHI, Feb 28:
Delhi Police constable Arvind Dabas, arrested on charge of attempting to get call details of BJP leader Arun Jaitley, has sought bail from a Delhi court claiming he was falsely implicated in the case due to “personal animosities” in the department.
The bail plea was moved before Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vidya Prakash who issued notice to the Delhi Police seeking its reply on March 2.
Dabas’ counsel Naushad Ahmad Khan contended that his client has been a “dutiful constable” and his “impeccable record speaks of his character.” He claimed the accused has been falsely implicated in the present case with the connivance of Special Cell (of Delhi Police).
“The FIR has been filed due to personal animosities within the department and the case has been foisted deliberately with intent to subdue him and he has become the victim of the system,” the counsel contended while seeking bail for the constable.
32-year-old Dabas, who was arrested on February 14, has been booked for criminal conspiracy and cheating under the Indian Penal Code and also under section 66 of Information and Technology Act (for hacking the computer).
The counsel also claimed that police have not recovered any incriminating material connecting him to the case. (PTI)
