New Delhi: Senior advocate R K Anand today moved the Supreme Court challenging the Delhi High Court verdict which convicted him as also public prosecutor I U Khan for obstructing administration of justice by influencing a key witness in the BMW hit-and-run case.

Anand, in his petition, contended that the high court relied on the edited tapes of a TV channel which claimed to have conducted a sting operation to conclude that he was in collusion with the public prosecutor in the case.

Both Anand and Khan were accused of obstructing the administration of justice by influencing witness Sunil Kulkarni in the sensational case.

The court on May 31 last year had taken suo motu cognisance of the NDTV sting operation showing Anand, in collusion with Khan, allegedly offering money to Kulkarni to depose in favour of Sanjeev Nanda, the prime accused in the case.

Nanda, the grandson of retired Naval chief S M Nanda, was convicted in the case by a city court which today reserved its order on the quantum of punishment for the guilty.
