• On May 27, the High Court refused interim protection from arrest to Ahmad, highlighting the ‘very serious’ nature of allegations including bribery and criminal intimidation.
• A trial court denied Ahmad’s anticipatory bail on May 22, with the judge emphasizing that any arrest must comply with due process requirements.
• The Special Judge was transferred from Rouse Avenue Court on May 20 after he had previously dismissed the ACB’s request to investigate him for bribery due to insufficient evidence.
• In his petition, Ahmad seeks to quash the FIR or to have the investigation transferred to the CBI, alleging abuse of authority and a fabricated case by ACB officials.
