New Delhi: CBI has refuted allegations of adopting a selective approach in high profile corruption cases including of those of disproportionate assets against BSP supremo Mayawati and SP chief Mulayam Singh Yadav.
Replying to former BSF Director General Prakash Singh, who had complained to CVC on behalf of NGO India Rejuvenation Initiative, CBI refuted the allegations of tardy probe.
“A person as knowledgeable and battle hardened as you have chosen to cast aspersions on the functioning of the CBI without taking pains to ascertain the facts from CBI where a large number of officers are known to you,” CBI said in a strongly worded response.
It questioned why only these politically sensitive cases have been raised whereas the agency is seized of number of other cases which may not have “generated media interest but are equally important”.
Giving case by case rebuttal of allegations, CBI said the agency is doing whatever is required under the law. “CBI is fully aware of its Constitutional and legal obligations,” it said.
