CBI to renew efforts to get info from Singapore

CBI will reinvigorate attempts to get responses of its judicial requests from Singapore in connection with several cases including Tatra and 2G scams after an assurance in this regard from officials of that country.
CBI sources said the agency will get in touch with the Indian High Commission in Singapore to facilitate quick disposal of about 15-20 Letters Rogatory currently pending there.
The move comes in the wake of a recent meeting Home Minister Rajnath Singh had with Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister Chee Hean Teo at an Interpol conference in Monaco, where the issue came up for discussion.
The sources said Singapore officials have ensured full cooperation in this regard.

India has sent Letters Rogatory to Singapore in connection with CBI's probe in Tatra all-terrain vehicle purchase scam and 2G telecom spectrum scam among others.
Letters rogatory is a formal request by a court in one country to another seeking judicial assistance.
Appreciating the cooperation from Singapore in the field of security and police matters, economic and culture, the home minister had suggested that Singapore may consider setting up a world class skill development centre in India.
