Central Bureau of Investigation Deputy SP Devender Kumar has been sent to 7 days CBI custody. The Delhi High Court was hearing petitions filed by Special CBI Director Rakesh Asthana and DSP Devender Kumar seeking quashing of an FIR against them in a bribery case. The separate petitions filed by them were heard by Justice Najmi Waziri.


The CBI had yesterday arrested its DSP, Kumar, in connection with bribery allegations involving the investigative agency's second-in-command, Asthana.
