CBI submits status report in sex racket probe

SRINAGAR : The Central Bureau of Investigation submitted on Monday a status report on its investigation of the sex racket in Jammu and Kashmir to the High Court, which is monitoring the probe.

Assistant Solicitor-General of India and CBI counsel S.A. Naik declined to comment on the contents of the report. ``We have submitted the status report to the court as per the directions by the division bench on Friday,'' Mr. Naik said.

On Friday, the division bench comprising Justices Hakim Imtiyaz Hussain and B.A Kirmani directed the agency to file status reports on Monday and Wednesday and listed the case for June 30.

Twelve persons have been arrested in the case so far out of which nine have been chargesheeted before the Chief Judicial Magistrate's court and accused of raping a teenaged girl.

Those chargesheeted include the former State Additional Advocate-General Anil Sethi, Border Security Force DIG K.C. Padhi, Deputy Superintendent of Police Mohammad Ashraf Mir and alleged kingpin of the racket Sabeena.

Two former Ministers and sitting MLAs, Ghulam Ahmad Mir of Congress and independent Raman Mattoo, have also been arrested by the CBI in connection with the sex racket. — PTI
