CBI books Lalli, raids his house
New Delhi, March 4 Besides Lalli’s residence, the searches were being carried at the residence of Dehlvi and two more places, the sources said. The CBI move comes after Information and Broadcasting Ministry cleared the decks for prosecution of Lalli facing allegations of corruption relating to broadcast rights given to SIS Live. However, sanction for the prosecution of former Doordarshan Director General Aruna Sharma for her role in the matter is yet to be given by the Ministry, which said it was examining the reply given by the Madhya Pradesh cadre IAS officer. Soon after getting clearance from the Prime Minister's Office to initiate action against both the officials on the basis of the recommendations of the VK Shunglu Committee, the CBI had written to the Ministry seeking its nod to go ahead with criminal proceedings against them. PM Manmohan Singh, after receiving the report, had directed that explanations be sought from Lalli and Sharma. Both Lalli and Sharma denied allegations of any wrongdoing. — PTI
