Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Lawyer of former constable of the Transport Department Saurabh Sharma, Suryakant Bhujade, made a big claim on the raids conducted by probe agencies on his client’s residential premises.
Bhujade said that Sharma was just a small fry in the episode, and that the gold and cash found during the raids on his residence did not belong to Sharma alone.
The wealth belongs to some politicians and bureaucrats, Bhujade said, adding that a constable cannot make this much money in just seven years. Gathering such a huge amount of cash and gold is the handy work of an old syndicate, he said.
As Sharma has just become an easy target, the blame has been shifted to him, Bhujade further said. Sharma and a few others found guilty in the case are in danger of their life, the lawyer said.
The government should provide security to these people, Bhujade said, adding that Sharma cannot commit such a big crime, for a constable cannot extort such a huge amount of money from a toll plaza.
According to Bhujade, Sharma and his friends have been made major offenders in the case. It is the handy work of some big wigs at whose insistence they were working, but the probe agencies have made up their mind to corner these people, the lawyer said.
