ED and CBI are independent, no interference by Govt: Minister

Union Minister Jitendra Singh on Wednesday said central probe agencies like the CBI and the ED function “independently” and that the Centre did not “interfere” with their working.

He was addressing reporters at the conclusion of the third G20 Anti-Corruption Working Group meeting.

On allegations that ED and CBI were more active in Opposition-ruled states, he said, “Those who say the government is using central agencies are talking about UPA regime,” he said.
