The Union Home Ministry has turned down the Central Bureau of Investigation’s request for sanction to prosecute four intelligence officials, including former Intelligence Bureau Special Director Rajendra Kumar, in the Ishrat Jahan “fake” encounter case.
Refusing to divulge exact details of the grounds on which prosecution sanction has been denied, an MHA official said the decision has been taken following detailed examination of the documents submitted by the agency.http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/mha-refuses-sanction-to-prosecute-intelligence-officials-in-ishrat-case/article7296126.ece
