CBI DSP Kumar moves bail plea before Delhi court

CBI's Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Devender Kumar, arrested in connection with bribery allegations involving the agency's Special Director Rakesh Asthana, moved a bail application before a court here Monday.

Special CBI Judge Santosh Snehi Mann fixed the matter for hearing on Tuesday, when Kumar will be produced before the court on the expiry of his seven-day CBI custody granted by the court earlier.

Besides Asthana and Kumar, two alleged middlemen -- Manoj Prasad and Somesh Prasad -- have also been named as accused in the case.
