The Civil Court (Senior Division) here on Monday issued summons to former IG of police and former MP Anadi Sahu to depose before it on April 5 in connection with a defamation case filed against him by former DGP Sanjeev Marik.
The court has asked Sahu to appear before it in person or through a lawyer.
On March 4, Marik had filed a civil defamation suit for `50 lakh against Sahu after the latter alleged that Marik has close links with gangster brothers Sushil and Sushant Dhalasamanta.
The former IG had also accused Marik of having pocketed `50 7 crore from the gangster siblings. Sahu had said that Marik’s now-transferred stenographer Rabindra Sethi used to take care of his illegal transactions and invest them in various places.
Sahu had also alleged that the Dhalsamanta brothers had taken care of the expenses incurred on the marriage of Marik’s son. Marik, on the other hand, had demanded evidence of his claim and threatened to drag the matter to court.
