CBI orders probe into leakage of info
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday ordered an internal inquiry to identify the official who allegedly leaked documents related to the agency’s probe into the disproportionate assets case against Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and his sons-Akhilesh Yadav and Prateek Yadav.
Talking to reporters, CBI director Ranjit Sinha said, “No final decision has been taken on the file pertaining to the case. The file has not even reached me. A final call is yet to be taken”.
He regretted that documents were being leaked by some vested interests from the premier probe agency even before a final call had been taken and announced a probe to nail the CBI officers involved in it.
Junior Central Bureau of Investigation officials are believed to have suggested filing of a closure report in the case since the increase in the assets of the father-son duo during the probe period of 1993-2005 was allegedly owing to grant of loans from relatives to them that were later claimed to be gifts.
The agency’s probe, which is in its final stage, allegedly could not find unexplained increase in their assets, sources said.
