ICC further added that Kashyap has also been charged with a breach of Article 2.4.7 of the Code, which talks about "obstructing or delaying the ACU's investigation in relation to possible Corrupt Conduct under the Code, including (without limitation) concealing, tampering with or destroying any documentation or other information that may be relevant to that investigation and/or that may be evidence of or may lead to the discovery of evidence of Corrupt Conduct under the Code."
In accordance with Code Article 4.6.6, ICC said Kashyap has 14 days from May 19 to respond to the charges, while adding that they will not make any further comment in respect of these charges at this stage.
