The claims were denied by CBIs Deputy Superintendent of Police Rajesh Chahal,who deposed as a prosecution witness in the case. It is wrong to suggest that I have not fairly investigated the case and that I have deliberately withheld material evidence which had come in favour of accused persons, he said. Chahal denied he and other CBI officers intimidated key witness A K Srivastava,saying,It is wrong to suggest that he toed our line.
