CBI had started a probe into the leak in which it emerged that findings of the preliminary enquiry were influenced
A Delhi court has directed the CBI to probe the role of former Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh in the alleged leak of the agency’s preliminary enquiry (PE) purportedly giving clean chit to him.
Special judge Sanjeev Aggarwal said that even though Mr. Deshmukh was not arrayed as an accused in the CBI’s charge sheet in the matter, he may be the controlling mind of the larger conspiracy since he was the main beneficiary from the leak of the contents of the PE.
The court made the observation on December 22 while taking cognisance of the charge sheet filed against the CBI’s sub-inspector Abhishek Tiwari, Deshmukh’s lawyer Anand Daga and the politician’s social-media handler Vaibhav Gajendra Tumane for allegedly trying to subvert the Bombay High Court directed preliminary enquiry against the ex-minister.
