The CBI is examining a fresh set of classified documents sent by arms dealer Abhishek Verma's estranged business associate C Edmonds Allen in which the name of a home ministry official has surfaced.
Union home secretary R K Singh had a meeting with CBI director Ranjit Sinha on Tuesday, during which the chief of probe agency was asked about his opinion on the documents purported to be of the US-based attorney, official sources said.
The documents sent by Allen include some photographs of Verma's wife Ancea with a home ministry official, they said. The sources said prima facie no case was made out against the ministry official.
Last year, CBI had booked Verma and his Romanian wife Ancea Neascu for allegedly taking 5.30 lakh US dollars from Swiss firm Rheinmetall Air Defence AG for using his ‘influence’ to stall the blacklisting proceedings initiated by the government against it.
