A judge noted that the investigative agency did not bring enough evidence to frame charges against the accused in the case.

The German company has been accused by the CBI of paying Verma over USD 5,30,000 to get it off a defence ministry blacklist.

The CBI started its investigation into the bribery scandal in 2011.
