Supreme Court directs CBI chief to recuse himself from 2G case

New Delhi, Nov 20 (IBNS): The Supreme Court on Thursday directed India's federal investigating agency CBI's chief Ranjit Sinha to recuse himself from the 2G scam case probe.

The ruling of the Supreme Court in a petition of lawyer and activist Prashant Bhushan- who raised the issue of various accused meeting Sinha- is unprecedented.

Earlier on Thursday, the apex court ordered officers of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to head to work straight away instead of attending the hearing about their top boss.

The top court during the day heard the case that asks for Sinha to be removed from the investigation into the 2G scam when the second-wave generation of airwaves were allegedly given with out-of-turn mobile network licenses to firms who paid kickbacks.
