Apprehending arrest in connection with the gutka scam, an inspector has moved the Madras high court seeking anticipatory bail.

Justice M Dhandapani, before whom V Sampath’s petition came up for hearing on Tuesday, issued notices to the CBI returnable by October 22.

Sampath, an inspector attached to the Tuticorin SIPCOT police, said in his petition that the CCB raided a warehouse in Red Hills in 2015 and seized banned tobacco products.

After the raid, the seized materials were handed over to the Red Hills police station, where Mannar Mannan was the assistant commissioner and the petitioner the inspector.

After inspection, and as per the instruction of food safety officials, the contraband was destroyed, he said. He was transferred to Arumuganeri in 2016. Suspecting that he too was involved in the alleged crime, the CBI raided his residence in Royapuram and his official residence in the police quarters in Arumuganeri, besides houses of his relatives, Sampath said.

He alleged that the CBI had been treating him poorly and said the probe clearly revealed that he and his relatives were not involved in the crime. Yet, he was summoned thrice.

Claiming that the CBI was trying to arrest him just because he was in charge of the police station during the incident, he wanted the court to grant him anticipatory bail.
