Panchkula, Feb. 24 -- A special CBI court in Panchkula has directed the preservation of CCTV footage from two locations after Dr Navneet Kumar, arrested in a Rs.2.5 lakh bribery case, challenged the circumstances of his arrest. Dr Kumar was arrested by the anti-corruption branch of the CBI in the first week of February. The court directed the manager of Murthal Haveli, Murthal, to preserve CCTV footage of the fast food lawn area and front parking area from 4.30 pm to 5.30 pm on February 6. Similarly, the in-charge of NFL Guest House, Panipat, was asked to preserve CCTV footage of the main entrance and reception area from 6 pm on February 6 till 5 am on February 7. In his plea, Dr Kumar stated that according to the CBI, he was arrested at 8.25 pm on February 6 at NFL Guest House, Panipat. However, he claimed that he was actually apprehended earlier, between 4.30 pm and 5.30 pm at Murthal Haveli in Murthal, and argued that the CCTV footage is crucial for a fair adjudication of the case. The CBI's public prosecutor opposed the application, contending that no useful purpose would be served by preserving the footage. According to the CBI, Dr Kumar was allegedly caught while accepting a bribe of Rs.2.5 lakh from a private hospital owner in exchange for referring patients to his hospital. At the time of his arrest, Dr Kumar was posted as a medical officer at a polyclinic under the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme in Sewah, Panipat....
