Supreme Court Seeks Fresh CBI Report on Arunachal CM Family Contract Allegations
The Supreme Court has directed the CBI to submit a fresh status report on its preliminary inquiry into allegations of preferential contract allotment in Arunachal Pradesh to firms linked to Chief Minister Pema Khandu's family. The Arunachal Pradesh government stated it has complied with court orders by providing necessary documents. The court granted the state two weeks to present its position. Advocate Prashant Bhushan, representing petitioner NGOs, questioned whether the CBI had sufficient evidence to register a formal case, which the court said the agency must determine.
