NEW DELHI: Hours after, the agency claimed that it was facing difficulties in terms of availability of documents from Army and central paramilitary forces due to which the probe was delayed.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court lashed out at CBI director Alok Verma for delayed investigation in fake encounter cases in Manipur.
CBI has claimed that it was facing difficulties in gaining all documents from Army and central paramilitary forces.  CBI spokesperson Abhishek Dayal said that there were 41 cases of alleged extrajudicial killings in Manipur. CBI is still waiting for complete records from local police and paramilitary forces. Some of the cases are very old. Hence, record collection is a tedious exercise. The agency has so far registered 27 cases and filed two charge-sheets.  However, no Army or paramilitary officer has been named in these cases.
The agency officials said that CBI might be able to submit its final report in five more cases by August end.
