A Delhi court has convicted Ramnish Geer, a Joint Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), and V K Pandey, a retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, for their roles in a 2000 raid on Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer Ashok Kumar Aggarwal. The court found that the officials unlawfully entered Aggarwal's home in Paschim Vihar, Delhi, and assaulted him during the raid on October 19, 2000. The court's judgment highlighted that the officers acted with malafide intentions, violating legal protocols and causing physical harm to Aggarwal. The case stemmed from Aggarwal's allegations of being falsely implicated in a corruption case by an individual he was investigating. The court noted the absence of justification for the raid and the injuries sustained by Aggarwal, pointing to custodial violence. Sentencing for Geer and Pandey is scheduled for April 27, 2023.
