CBI has become 'Credibility Busted Irreparably': TMC on SC's decision in 2G case

Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader Derek O'Brien on Thursday said the Supreme Court's decision to remove the top man of India's premier investigating agency from the 2G scam case makes it very clear that the Central Bureau of Investigation has now become 'Credibility Busted Irreparably'.

"The nation's worst kept secret is that the CBI has always been used and is always used for settling political scores for political vendetta. After the SC judgement today, what is very very clear is the CBI now has become 'Credibility Busted Irreparably'," O'Brien told ANI here.

The Supreme Court earlier today removed CBI Director Ranjit Sinha from the 2G scam case, saying the allegations against him of protecting some accused appears to be prima facie credible.

The apex court, which was hearing a case seeking removal of the CBI Director from the investigation into the 2G scam case, in an unprecedented order handed over the case to the senior-most officer after Sinha in the investigating team.

The bench headed by Chief Justice H.L. Dattu, however, refused to pass an elaborate order on the issue saying that it would tarnish the image and reputation of the premier agency.
