Delhi Court Discharges Former Drug Regulator and Others in CBI Bribery Case
A Delhi court discharged former joint drug controller Dr. Eswara Reddy and three others in a CBI corruption case involving alleged bribery linked to Biocon Biologics' drug approval. The court found the prosecution failed to establish even a prima facie case, citing lack of evidence for criminal conspiracy or improper conduct. Call recordings and other materials did not demonstrate Reddy's involvement in bribery or illegal actions, leading to dismissal of charges under the Prevention of Corruption Act and IPC Section 120B.
