CBI seems to be protecting accused in judge murder case: Jharkhand HC

India Today  

Jharkhand High Court has slammed the Central Bureau of Investigation for its “laxity” in probing the murder of Dhanbad judge Uttam Anand, and observed that it seems that the agency was trying to quit the investigation and even protect the accused. The division bench of Chief Justice Ravi Ranjan and Justice SN Prasad, while reading the report of the narco-analysis test of the two accused, on Friday said that when the auto-driver and his accomplice knew that Anand was a judge before hitting him, how could the CBI come up with the theory of murder for robbing a mobile phone? The bench said that when the report of the narco-analysis test conducted by the CBI says that both the accused knew the judge beforehand and they did not find his mobile phone, how can the investigating agency say that he was murdered for a mobile phone? Additional Advocate General SV Raju, virtually appearing for CBI from Delhi, said that the National Investigating Agency besides CBI, is also a very competent agency and the case can be handed over to it, to which the bench wondered whether the CBI was trying to quit the investigation.
