Won’t follow others, will do what I have to: Sinha

When asked about his post-retirement plans, Sinha replied, “I will not follow others. I will do what I have to.”

“I have only done bad things in the CBI. Enough dirt has been cast on me,” quipped CBI Director Ranjit Sinha on the eve of his retirement on Monday when asked to sum up his tenure.

Sinha, who has been at the centre of a controversy over the CBI’s probe into the 2G spectrum allocation case, chose to make no further no comments saying, “I do not want to say anything”.

Last month, the Supreme Court had directed Sinha to recuse himself from the 2G probe after allegations were levelled that he met several people connected with the scam at his residence while investigations were underway.

When asked about his post-retirement plans, Sinha replied, “I will not follow others. I will do what I have to.”

Sinha was caught in an embarrassing situation when he appeared to be dozing off while Home Minister Rajnath Singh was addressing the annual conference of state police chiefs and heads of central police organisations in Guwahati on Saturday. The following day, he again appeared to be napping, ironically at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke about the need for security personnel to stay alert and be accountable.
