Ex-police chief, ACP booked in 2001 case

The accused were officials in the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in 2001 when they were conducting a probe against businessman Vijay Kumar Aggarwal and his associates.

Police said an FIR has been lodged by the crime branch against Kumar and Pandey. Kumar was the Delhi Police Commissioner and also joint director of CBI at the time.

Aggarwal was being investigated by CBI in an assets disproportionate case with his brother Ashok Aggarwal when he claimed that few documents were fabricated. The complaint against the two was filed by Sheesh Ram Saini and Aggarwal in 2001 and 2004.

Saini alleged fabrication of documents by Kumar while Aggarwal claimed he was “criminally intimidated” by Pandey at Kumar’s directions.
