Gurgaon multi-crore heist: Suspended IPS officer seeks transfer of case
Suspended IPS officer Dheeraj Setia, who is accused in a multi-crore theft case in Gurgaon, filed an application before the district and sessions judge seeking transfer of the case from the court of Additional Sessions Judge Jasbir Singh. Setia had applied for anticipatory bail Friday.
Hearing the bail application, ASJ Singh, in an order on Monday, said, “It has been pointed out by the learned counsel for the applicant-accused that the application for transfer of the case has been filed before the Court of learned Sessions Judge, Gurugram. Accordingly, in view of the pendency of the transfer application, file be put up before the court of learned Sessions Judge, Gurugram, for consideration of desirability of withdrawal of this bail application from this court.”
“I fear another lockdown, but don’t have enough money to return to my village again,” said Raj Kumar, a migrant labourer, holding a five-foot-long plastering tool as he stood at the crossing colloquially called Labour Chowk, near Gurgaon’s Bristol Hotel on Tuesday morning. He, alongside dozens others, was hoping to find work for the day at a construction site.
