Court again dissatisfied with CBI report on Manik Bhattacharya in OMR sheet corruption case. Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay became angry after seeing the report submitted by the central intelligence on the former president of the primary board, Manik Bhattacharya, caught in the recruitment corruption case.

However, the judge said that he has confidence in CBI’s Singhvi. Primary TET Scam: Partha Chatterjee had direct role in illegal recruitment in primary, CBI told HC
Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay, after seeing the report in the court, expressed his anger and said, ‘Manik Bhattacharya was never taken into custody by the CBI. CBI did not interrogate Manik Bhattacharya despite my instructions. He left it for a long time. It seems that Manik Bhattacharya has reached an agreement with the CBI officers.’

This is not the end, he said, ‘Supreme Court has given some protection but not prohibiting cross-examination. So why is it being interrogated? I think it was the CBI officials who gave the idea to bring protection from the Supreme Court.’
Justice Abhijit Gangopadhyay asked, ‘Why was it not asked in detail? What kind of investigation is it? Sitting looking at me. He did not take any initiative on his own. Do you think it is an important event? ED told something? A speedy inquiry into Manik Bhattacharya’s case was ordered. What happened to that? The order was dated 27 September 2022. Then what’s next? I don’t want to know how many times you asked. Want to know whether you have received some information or not. These are trivial questions.’

Bilbadal Bhattacharya on behalf of CBI said, ‘2/11/22, 5/11/22, 6/2/23 Manik was interrogated. A total of five interrogations have been conducted for two more primary corruption cases. We are looking seriously. But he is not cooperating.’ Hearing the question of non-cooperation, he said, ‘The matter is very unbelievable. If Manik Bhattacharya does not cooperate, then why is he not applying for the withdrawal of the protection given by the Supreme Court? In 2022, the Supreme Court granted protection to Manik. Then it’s been a year!’ The judge expressed his anger as to whether the CBI officials are with the accused.
