The CBI has booked a former deputy secretary in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting and six former Prasar Bharati officials in connection with a corruption case referred to it by the Lokpal, officials said Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Besides the former MoIB deputy secretary, the CBI has also listed former a Prasar Bharati Additional Director General (Engineering) and an ADG (Engineering- Headquarters); two Assistant Engineers of Doordarshan Kendra-Bhubaneswar; and two Assistant Engineers of DD News-Delhi, as suspects in the FIR.<\/p>\n
As directed by the Lokpal, the CBI has not divulged the names of the officials or the allegations against them.<\/p>\n
The Lokpal had asked the CBI to conduct the investigation through an order dated December 20, 2024 following a complaint made to it last year.<\/p>\n
It has also directed the CBI to keep the identity of the complainant and respondent public servants (suspects) confidential in conformity with Lokpal rules, the officials said.<\/p>\n
The CBI has registered the FIR under 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), which deals with criminal conspiracy, and provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.<\/p>\n
