SC slams CBI over Ansal brothers' arrest

New Delhi: An angry Supreme Court has asked the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) why Ansal brothers have not been arrested yet.

In August, the court had ordered the CBI to issue bailable warrants against Delhi's prominent builders Sushil and Gopal Ansal, who owned the Uphaar cinema where more than 50 people were killed in a fire more than a decade ago.

The court has now told the Ansal lawyers that it would hear them only after the Ansals are arrested, though they can be granted bail soon after. The case comes up on August 29.
