Summary:
The CBI told the Calcutta High Court on Friday that the chargesheet in the Narada sting tapes case will be submitted in about a month’s time if necessary procedures are completed. The CBI had booked 12 top TMC leaders, including MPs and West Bengal ministers, and an IPS officer in connection with the case. AdvertisingHowever, the CBI, which is investigating the case, will file chargesheet based on circumstantial evidence, if the reports do not come by then. Chanda said this during the hearing of a petition by Trinamool Congress MP Aparupa Poddar seeking quashing of the case against her in connection with the Narada sting tapes, in which people resembling senior TMC leaders were allegedly seen accepting bribes. In the sting operation, which was claimed to have been carried out in 2014, some persons resembling senior TMC leaders are seen accepting money from the representatives of a fictitious company in return for favours..
