NSA Ajit Doval Interfered In Probe, CBI Officer Tells Supreme Court | Read
National Security Adviser Ajit Doval interfered in the corruption investigation against CBI number two Rakesh Asthana and did not allow searches that were important to the inquiry, an officer claimed in a petition to the Supreme Court today. CBI officer Manish Kumar Sinha, who was abruptly transferred while investigating bribe charges against Rakesh Asthana, also claimed that a union minister of state took "a few crores" to help a businessman under investigation. Petitioning the court against his transfer to Nagpur, the CBI officer said he had "documents that will shock the court". Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, rejecting his request for an urgent hearing tomorrow, replied, "Nothing shocks us."
