A babu blacklist now on CBI146;s agenda

Of late, these lists were gathering dust but now the CBI is set to revive the system.

This is part of the agency8217;s strategy to 8216;8216;spread the net on prevention of corruprion,8217;8217; CBI director U S Mishra told The Indian Express.

Another area the agency is focusing on, Mishra said, is on 8216;8216;breaking the nexus between the government8217;s vigilance agencies and their collusion with other forces.8217;8217;

The last time a similar exercise was undertaken was when former CVC N Vittal decided to put names of such officials on the agency8217;s website.

The move, however, was met with stiff resistance forcing the CVC to pull off the list.

Mishra, however, does not plan to make it that dramatic.

According to Mishra, 8216;8216;our job is not to look at small corruption cases in departments but concentrate on problems that arise when policing agencies themselves get involved with the thieves.8217;8217;
