New Delhi: Twelve days before his retirement, CBI Director Ranjit Sinha on Thursday suffered a major blow when the Supreme Court removed him from the 2G scam case, saying the allegations against him of protecting some accused appears to be “prima facie credible”.
The Apex Court, in an unprecedented order, handed over the case to the senior-most officer after Sinha in the 2G scam investigating team.
A Bench headed by Chief Justice H.L Dattu, however, refused to pass an elaborate order on the issue saying that it would “tarnish” the “image and reputation” of the premier agency. (PTI)
