New Delhi, September 20
The swift analysis of the alleged interpolation and fudging in Taj Heritage Corridor Project files by the Central Forensic Scientific Laboratory (CFSL) had helped the CBI a great deal in zeroing in on persons who allegedly tried to cover up their misdeeds.

The 15-page report submitted to the CBI by Mr T.R. Nehra, Principal Scientific Officer and Head of the Documentation Division, CFSL, which was part of the report submitted by the probe agency to the Supreme Court, made the job of the investigators easy.

On August 27, the CBI had handed over the documents, which it suspected to have been fudged to the CFSL. Within a short span of one week, the CFSL gave its detailed report, confirming fudging and interpolation.

Besides, former Union Environment Secretary K C Mishra and Uttar Pradesh’s former Environment Minister Nasimuddin Siddiqui, the CFSL has concluded that Mr Rajendra Prasad, an Under Secretary in the Department of Environment in Lucknow, had made interpolated writings in the files.
