New Delhi, 12th May 2022: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested its four Sub-Inspectors posted in Delhi on certain allegations and conducted searches at their premises. Incriminating documents recovered during searches are being scrutinized.
CBI has registered a case against its Sub-Inspector posted in New Delhi and unknown officials/private persons on a complaint. The Complainant who is running a partnership firm in Chandigarh had alleged that on 10.05.2022, six persons including CBI officials entered his office & threatened him that he would be arrested for supporting and providing money to terrorists as they have information regarding the same.

Taking a serious note of this act on part of these delinquent officials, all four of them were dismissed from service.
The arrested accused are being produced today before the Competent Court at Chandigarh.
