  • One of the Major-Generals has previously faced a CBI inquiry earlier over bribery charges in a Border Roads Organisation (BRP) project.

    However, he had been let off because of lack of evidence.

    Though the officer in question had got the "vigilance clearance for the next rank" as there were no charges, it became the prime reason for the matter to be referred to CBI.
