The CBI has filed a charge sheet against Indrajit Singh and Subhash Chandra Mahla of two Indian citizens in the murder case in two different countries. Both these cases are from UAE and Bahrain. Indian citizens were killed in these two countries. After urging from Bahrain and UAE, the CBI started a local prosecution and after a thorough investigation, a charge sheet was filed in the CBI court of Delhi.
Indian citizen Rama Lingam murdered in Abu Dhabi
The first case is of Abu Dhabi of UAE. The CBI had registered a case against Indrajit Singh under Section 302 of IPC i.e. murder on the charge of killing Indian citizen Rama Lingam. Investigation revealed that Rama Lingam used to sell international SIM cards in Abu Dhabi and Indrajit Singh used to buy SIM on borrowing from him. Gradually, Indrajit got a debt of 300 Dirham.
After this, when Rama Lingam asked the person who gave Indrajit the money to be deducted from his salary, Indrajit got angry and planned the murder. Seeing the opportunity on August 28, 2008, Indrajit attacked Rama Lingam with a knife, killing him. The CBI has filed a charge sheet against Inderjit Singh in a special court of Delhi after getting approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Indian citizen murdered his owner in Bahrain
The second case is from Bahrain. Here Indian citizen Subhash Chandra Mahala killed his owner. On the request of the Bahrain government, India’s Foreign Ministry submitted this case to the CBI. CBI investigation revealed that Subhash used to work as a driver there and was troubled by his boss’s behavior. On January 31, 2011, when his owner was alone, Subhash attacked him with something heavy. He lost his life in this attack. In this case too, the CBI gathered evidence and took approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs and then filed a charge sheet in the CBI court of Delhi.
Case can be prosecuted against Indians who commit crime abroad
The CBI is India’s investigating agency that can prosecute Indians committing crimes in other countries in India. Together with the Ministry of External Affairs, the CBI asked for necessary evidence from the UAE and Bahrain, which can be produced in the court according to Indian law.
