Before awarding the sentence, the court raised eyebrows on the conduct of the CBI investigating officer for not questioning Kumar’s brother. The court recorded that some of the alleged disproportionate assets, which include movable and immovable assets, were directly linked with Kumar’s brother, who is based in the UK and a doctor by profession. “Despite this, he (brother) was never associated in any capacity during the investigation. The investigating officer never bothered to examine him or question him. It is interesting to further highlight that two flats situated in Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, were purchased during the check period, allegedly ‘benami’ by Sanjiv Kumar. One of these was purchased by accused Dr. Maheshwar Kumar (deceased father) whereas the other was purchased by Dr. Rajiv Kumar (UK-based brother),” the order reads.
