New CBI chief to take over 2G probe

New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Monday permitted newly-appointed CBI Director Anil Sinha to take over the probe into 2G cases. The apex court passed the order on an application by the probe agency seeking clarification on its earlier order removing former Central Bureau of Investigation chief Ranjit Sinha from the investigation and prosecution of the 2G cases. The court on December 2 had asked Ranjit Sinha to stay away from investigation as he had frequently met the 2G accused or people allegedly operating on their behalf at his official residence.
