Rajasthan ADGP A. K. Jain surrenders before CBI court
Tags:
Absconding Additional Director General of Rajasthan Police A. K. Jain, wanted by the CBI for his alleged role in the fake encounter death of a local liquor smuggler, on Monday surrendered before a special court here.
59-year-old Jain had gone absconding after the CBI filed a charge sheet against him last June accusing him of masterminding the fake encounter of Dara Singh.
The court immediately sent him to judicial custody and the CBI would be moving for his remand on Tuesday.
The CBI had mounted a lot of pressure on Jain and had revoked his passport besides declaring him a proclaimed offender and also announcing a cash reward of Rs 10 lakh on information leading to his arrest.
The agency had initiated the process of securing an Interpol Red Corner Notice against him as there was no information available about the whereabouts of Jain, a 1978 batch IPS officer.
It was not immediately clear as to whether he had arrived from Singapore or was hiding somewhere in the country.
Jain has been named by the CBI in its charge sheet filed on June 4 last year accusing him of allegedly killing Singh in 2006 when he was heading the Special Operations Group of Rajasthan Police.
This is for the first time in the history of inception of Indian Police Service that such a senior police officer has been declared as a proclaimed offender.
