Delhi court grants bail to RML Hospital laundry operator accused of accepting bribe

New Delhi, Apr 24 (UNI) A Delhi court granted bail to a laundry operator of the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital who was allegedly caught red-handed while accepting bribe from the complainant, during a trap laid by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Special Judge for CBI Jyoti Kler after hearing the arguments said: "Accused was arrested in this case on 27.03.2025. He was remanded to JC on 28.03.2025. On Court’s question, IO has disclosed that the complainant and other independent witnesses, except one, have already been examined by him. Recovery has already been effected. Investigation is about to be over. The accused is no longer required for custodial interrogation".
The court said, "Considering the aforesaid submissions of the IO, period of custody of the accused, stage of investigation, period likely to be spent in conducting the trial and other facts & circumstances in totality, the accused, namely, Sh. Surjeet Kumar, is admitted to bail on furnishing of bail bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with one surety in the like amount."
The court, while granting bail, laid down certain conditions that the accused shall attend the Court regularly during the trial and appear before the IO for the purpose of further investigation, as and when so directed.
He shall not commit an offence similar to the offence of which he is accused/suspect, or of the commission of which he is suspected and shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer. He shall not tamper with the evidence directly or indirectly and shall not leave the territory of India without seeking prior permission of the Court and shall place on record a copy of his passport within five days of his release from the custody.
Counsel for accused has moved the bail application with the submission that he has been falsely implicated. He has no concern with the RML Hospital. He was working as a laundry operator in Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Hospital.
Sr. PP for the CBI has opposed the bail application by submitting that the accused was caught red handed while accepting bribe in the sum of Rs.8,000/- from the complainant, during a trap laid down by the CBI. He said the allegations are serious in nature & charge sheet is yet to be filed, so the bail application of accused may kindly be dismissed at this stage.
