The same CBI which is getting the flak ” caged parrot” of BJP Govt has given clean chit- so hereafter will Dot Alliance stop calling CBI ” caged parrot” .As far as allegations r concerned when Banks were saddled with NPAs and RBI was scrutinizing all NPA accounts, naturally some suspicion arose wrt benefit of Rs48 cr given to Roys by ICiCI bank.So CBI had to investigate.
It’s simple and plain abuse of power by the Union govt. The Roys can be many things but they most certainly are not corrupt. Just because they are on the opposite side of the ideological divide, the govt agencies went after them.
The process is the punishment. And they have succeeded as the Roys have been forced to sell NDTV to Adani.
