Next hearing on Moday in Supreme Court over Ranjit Sinha's meet with scam alleged people
- 5 years ago
CBI chief Ranjit Sinha on Wednesday acknowledged that he had met executives of R-ADAG whose group company Reliance Telecom is an accused in the 2G scam case, fanning suspense over what the Supreme Court might do on Thursday when it takes up the matter.
"I have met officials of Reliance but have I shown favour to anyone?" a TV channel quoted Sinha as saying.
The matter was raised in the Supreme Court on Monday by activist-advocate Prashant Bhushan following reports in media, citing the visitors' diary purportedly maintained at the CBI chief's official residence, that Sinha hosted officials of the Anil Ambani-promoted group about 50 times.
Sinha disputed the reported frequency of his interactions with two senior R-ADAG functionaries. He maintained that he had met executives of Anil Ambani's group only "once or twice", even as sources in the agency said the CBI chief's official residence also served as a camp office from where he was supposed to discharge his official duties.
The statement coincided with reports that the visitors' diary showed that Moin Qureshi, a controversial meat exporter who is being investigated by the income tax department for allegedly running a money laundering racket, visited Sinha 90 times over a period of 15 months or so.
Although Sinha's lawyer Vikas Singh had on Monday dismissed Bhushan's charge as an attempt to damage CBI's credibility, the matter became curiouser on Wednesday because of Sinha's ambiguity on the authenticity of the diary at his official residence. He called the diary, maintained by security guards, a fake, but also conceded that some of the entries were correct.
