Bit curious. @ndtv legal reporters say no hearing in sarada case for 2 years now. So which SC direction is CBI following
Interim CBI chief M Nageshwar Rao to ANI: We are investigating these chit fund cases as per the directions of the SC. An SIT has been constituted by the WB govt prior to SC's direction under the chairmanship of Rajeev Kumar, who is currently the Kolkata police commissioner.
