CBI probe against former DGP Khagen Sarma over land acquisition case

GUWAHATI: The Gauhati High Court has ordered Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry against former Assam director-general of police Khagen Sarma and his spouse Bandana Sarma.

The order came in response to two writ petitions filed in 2010 wherein the petitioners had alleged that a plot of land owned by them was sold to Bandana Sarma by fraudulent means and that the land grabbers were exerting pressure with the help of police to vacate the property.
