Additional Sessions Judge I K Kochhar framed charges against Mukherjee, Sharma, and three others under a provision of the IPC dealing with criminal conspiracy and various others of the Prevention of Corruption Act for allegedly taking undue benefits.
Besides Mukherjee and Sharma, personal secretary to former DDA V-C Ashok Kapoor, sacked Delhi Police constable Vinod Khatri and alleged middleman Dharambir Khattar were ordered to be present in court for recording the prosecution evidence on May 26.
