Reveal whistleblower’s name: SC tells Bhushan

When no response came from the CBI chief, the apex court decided to serve him a notice to respond within 10 days (by 19 September) on why he should  not removed from the post. The SC also took into custody the visitor diary at Sinha’s residence, submitted by Bhushan, who said he got it through anonymous sources. But now, the apex court wants him to reveal the name of the whistleblower.

Sinha landed into controversy after the visitor diary at Sinha’s residence revealed that he met two top Reliance ADAG officials nearly 50 times in the last one year. It is also being charged that the visits coincided with Sinha’s alleged attempt to file an affidavit which sought to ‘defuse’ the charges against the company in the 2G scam. While going through Sinha’s visitors list, it was reportedly revealed that not only officials of Ambanis and other influential persons including Kanpur-based meat 

exporter Moin Qureshi had also visited his residence at least 90 times in the last one and half years.

The others who have visited Sinha’s residence include Devendra Darda, son of Congress MP from Yavatmal, Vijay Darda. Vijay is an accused in coal scam along with his brother Rajendra Darda. Qureshi’s dubious activities and his connection with the people in the corridor of power including a former CBI chief was first broken by the Millennium Post on 22 February, 2014.
