SC removes CBI Chief Ranjit Sinha from 2G case investigation

New Delhi, Nov 20 (ANI): In a major setback to CBI Chief Ranjit Sinha, the Supreme Court on Thursday directed him to recuse himself from the investigation in 2G scam case. The Supreme Court heard the matter and observed that apparently 'all is not well' and seemingly the allegations made by the NGO against CBI Director Ranjit Sinha have 'some credibility'. The court however didn't give out a reason on its directive saying that this was done to protect CBI's reputation. The court also said that the senior-most officer in the investigating team of the 2G scam will take over the role of CBI director in the case. Further, the SC also rejected Sinha's charges that DIG Santosh Rastogi was the mole who leaked information to petitioner and said that no question will be raised against Rastogi. Nov 20, 2014

PM Modi's popularity in social media reflects India's significance: Cyber Expert

New Delhi, Nov 20 (ANI): Cyber expert Pawan Duggal on Thursday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rising popularity in social media reflects India's significance under the Modi's leadership, and added it is a salutation to his eccentric understanding of the social media and internet. Duggal said Prime Minister Modi is having the second largest number of followers after US President Barack Obama. Giving credit for such acceptance by social media to Modi, Duggal said that it is the prime minister's way of giving the message in such crystal clear simple words that he is becoming extremely popular. Talking about the Digital India programme that was launched earlier in July to bridge the divide between digital 'haves' and 'have-nots', Duggal said that this programme is going to irreversibly change India and transform India into a knowledge economy.
