The Supreme Court summons top officials of Arunachal Pradesh after observing “non-cooperation” in a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, according to reports. The court is seeking explanations from senior state authorities for their role in relation to the investigation. The matter centres on allegations that Chief Minister Pema Khandu favoured companies linked to family members when awarding government contracts over an extended period. Both outlets report that the CBI is examining whether there has been improper influence in the procurement and contracting process. In response to the court’s direction, the state’s senior officials are expected to appear before the Supreme Court to address questions related to the investigation’s progress and the assistance provided to the investigating agency. The reports indicate the court has taken note of the state’s conduct and is requiring further clarity from officials involved with the matter. The development adds a new procedural step in an ongoing case being handled by the CBI, while the underlying allegations remain subject to investigation and adjudication.
