Students ask CBI if it can prove Kalmadi has dementia
Can the CBI prove that jailed CWG Organising Committee chairman Suresh Kalmadi has dementia?
CBI officials faced a barrage of such questions by a group of school students who met them today to understand the functioning of the probe agency.
A total of 55 students of class XI and XII from Modern School, Barakhamba road, visited the CBI headquarters here as part of the the probe agency''s initiative to inform and educate school students about anti-corruption measures and their use by citizens.
Abhishek, a student of humanities stream, asked agency officials that how does the CBI propose to keep its credibility intact and not be accused of aligning with political affiliations?
"We are definitely endeavouring towards doing the right and the best. We may not be the best organisation but we are endeavouring to the best in every right... the officers out here are of impeccable integrity and they are trying to deliver the best of what is expected of them," CBI DIG Tilottama Verma told students.
Verma along with other officials explained that CBI has specific roles to perform in investigations and issues like medical history and a few legal points of a person under probe are dealt in consultation with various other agencies.
"So in this case, (Suresh Kalmadi) the person has to consult the doctors. We do not have a medical wing under us which can give an answer," Verma said when a student asked if recent reports about Kalmadi suffering from dementia could be proved by CBI.
Kalmadi has, however, clarified to the media that he has no brain problem albeit he has some cardiac complications.
