Beware! The peering eye of the astute and proficient CBI is on the corrupt government nowadays. The Central Bureau of Investigation has identified nearly 2200 corrupt senior officials working for the Government and has started inquiries into the matter. The announcement came as a surprise on Wednesday and the CBI has stated that there “was a 94% jump in crackdown against corruption in the country from 2014”.
The identification of the corrupt senior officials of the Government was confirmed by CBI director and the inquiry into the matter has been ordered Nearly 101 FIR’s have been registered by the anti-graft agency. According to Sinha “People expect the CBI to act against corruption and we are doing just that. Our focus is on conducting fair investigations and completing pending investigations.”These FIR’s were related to grafts and were registered by the CBI in 2015 when the investigating agency was made aware that the officials were demanding bribes to complete jobs. In 2014, the FIR’s registered were about 52.
It’s been almost 14 months since Sinha took over as chief of the CBI and he has confirmed that in the year 2015, the CBI has filed almost 1044 charge sheets. The names include Virbhadra Singh, A Raja, Naveen Jindal, and many other well recognized and placed political functionaries. Sinha vehemently stated that the public needs a fair deal and “Mood of the public is against corruption. If the CBI will not side with them, who will?” he stated!
Talking about disproportionate assets, he stated that 67 officials had been registered in FIR’s and this showed that almost 56% more had been under the scanner as compared to the cases in 2014. He insisted that a battle against “fighting corruption and crime” with correct procedures are a priority for him ever since the day he took over as the chief of CBI. Senior officials of the agency have of course refused to divulge details about the officials who are being investigated, and they said that “surveillance-related details can’t be disclosed.”
Confirming that the country was staged to raise their voice against crime and corruption, Mr. Sinha went on to say “We have also given high priority to complete pending investigations. We have filed 1,044 charge sheets in 2015, which is the highest in the last five years.” He proudly termed that “This is what that the CBI is doing as the premier anti-corruption agency,” and admitted that Bank of Baroda scam worth Rs 6,000 crore is also one in line for him, though he stated that the staff crunch is “critical” and he faces the shortage of manpower in investigations!
