CBI Pulled Up By Top Court Over No Arrests In Manipur Fake Encounters

Alok Kumar Verma, the director of the Central Bureau of Investigation, got an earful from the Supreme Court today for the agency's failure to arrest the accused in alleged extra-judicial killings in Manipur. One of the insurgency-hit states, Manipur has witnessed a number of allegations of extra-judicial killings by the army and security forces. The top court, which is hearing a petition seeking investigation into 1,528 cases, had asked the agency to file chargesheet in four cases that allegedly involved the army and the Assam Rifles.
