Contradictory statements of Jogi create problem for CBI

New Delhi, June 22: CBI is finding it difficult to get to the source of a letter on the basis of which Chhatisgarh chief minister Ajit Jogi had charged the intelligence bureau with having launched an operation against him, because of an apparent contradiction in his statements.
Jogi told CBI that it was while travelling in an aircraft that he had seen documents purportedly of the "special directorate" of the bureau about alleged "black sea" operation against him, official sources said.
During his meeting with the CBI official earlier this week, Jogi told the agency that he had received by post the documents indicating an alleged inquiry into his assets by IB, official sources said.
However, when Jogi was asked to handover the postal envelope containing this document, he said that it was present in his "dak file" and he saw it in the aircraft while he was flying on an official engagement.
Jogi had said earlier on March 31 that "someone had given him a photocopy of the documents."
The case, by this statement of Jogi, had virtually come to a standstill as it would be difficult for the agency to try and get to the source of the letter, the sources said.
However, the staff entrusted with the chief minister's daily "Dak" was likely to be questioned by the CBI to find something about the source of the letter.
