New Delhi: the Narendra Modi government on Monday appointed “a two-member inquiry commission… to investigate all aspects of the tapes controversy. Gujarat government spokesperson Nitin Patel said, the commission comprising retired High Court Judge Sugna Bhatt and former Additional Chief Secretary K C Kapoor, will submit a report in three months.
Bhatt, who gave a clean chit to the Gujarat government as head of a state government-appointed commission to probe the 2006 Surat floods, is chairman of the state OBC commission at present. On Saturday, suspended IAS officer Pradeep Sharma had moved the Supreme Court seeking a CBI inquiry into the snooping controversy. Sharma claimed that his “knowledge of the intimacy” between Modi and the woman had led the government to file false corruption cases against him.
