Irked with the way CBI handled probe in a coal blocks allocation scam case, a Delhi court on Tuesday said the agency’s officers lacked ‘basic skills of investigation’ and ordered its director Ranjit Sinha and all concerned DIGs to personally look into the matter failing which they would be held ‘responsible’.
Special CBI Judge Bharat Parashar also issued show cause notices to CBI inspector Rajbir Singh, investigating officer (IO) in a case in which a closure report was filed against Vikash Metals and Power Ltd, and its Superintendent of Police Nirbhay Kumar to explain the lacunae in their probe in the case.
‘I deem it appropriate that a show cause notice be issued to both IO inspector Rajbir Singh and SP Nirbhay Kumar to explain the aforesaid circumstances in which material documents and statement of witnesses as mentioned in the present order were withheld from this court,’ judge said.
