New Delhi: The Delhi police on Thursday filed a chargesheet against Rahul Mahajan, son of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, and five others in the drug overdose case.
Additional Sessions Judge S N Gupta issued notices to all the accused to be present in the next hearing on August 5.
Besides Rahul, the police also chargesheeted co-accused Sahil Zaroo, Harish Sharma, Rahul's servant Ganesh and two Nigerians Abdul Lateef Ashola Mohammad and E James Taiwo.
However, another Nigerian accused in the case, Ebrahim, was not named due to the lack of evidence. Chief Public Prosecutor B S Joon has filed the chargesheet.
Investigations revealed that one of the accused, Sahil Zaroo, had used a car for transporting drugs from Vasant Vihar to the Mahajan residence.
Soon after the incident, Sahil had given the car to a servicing centre with the intention to destroy the evidence. He also fled to Srinagar, the chargesheet said.
The crime scene was cleaned by accused Ganesh Kumar Sinha on the direction of Harish Sharma with the intention to destroy all evidence, according to the chargesheet.
Two Nigerians Abdul Lateef Ashola Mohammad and E James Taiwo were also chargesheeted by the Delhi Police.
They were also found living without valid documents in India and accordingly two separate cases were registered under the foreigner's Act, the chargesheet said.
The doctors in the Apollo hospital have deliberately misled the police regarding the treatment and Rahul's health status.
Hence, a complaint under section 182 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered against the management of the hospital, the chargesheet said.
"The filing of chargesheet would be a significant step in this case and I indeed believe the court would very soon take cognisance of the chargesheet," said B S Joon.
Rahul was chargesheeted under sections 21, 25, 27 and 27-A of the NDPS Act, whereas Sahil was chargesheeted under sections 21, 27, 27-A of the NDPS Act.
Ganesh and Harish Sharma were chargesheeted under sections 201 and 34 of the IPC for destruction of evidence and common intention to commit a crime.
The two Nigerians were chargesheeted under sections 21 and 27-A of the NDPS Act and 419 of the IPC.
