CBI to investigate law college recognitions granted by BCI

New Delhi: Several affiliations that had been granted by the Bar Council of India (BCI) to various law colleges in the past five years are being investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigations (CBI).

BCI vice chairman R. Dhanpal Raj had been arrested by the CBI from his residence in Tamil Nadu after a probe into the affiliation that had been granted to Global Law College in Ghaziabad.

According to sources, cash amounting to about Rs.75 lakh had been recovered during the raids conducted against BCI officials that had been arrested in connection with the case. R. Dhanpal Raj has been remanded by the court in police custody till February 25, 2011.

An FIR had been filed against a member of the Bar Council of Delhi, R.S. Rana, who had allegedly entered into a criminal conspiracy by demanding money from Manish Tyagi in order to conduct the inspection of a law college and giving a favorable report for granting recognition to the college. A trap had been laid by the CBI and Rana had been arrested with Rs.1 lakh cash in his hands.

An anticipatory bail petition by R. Dhanpal Raj had been rejected by the Supreme Court.
