The Andhra Pradesh Anti Corruption Bureau Saturday hit back at the CBI over its charge that the state government had leaked secret information to trap some corrupt officials, saying it had gone by the rules in nabbing a Central Excise Department superintendent in a bribery case.
The ACB also said it was well within its jurisdiction in dealing with the case, while the CBI ceased to enjoy that authority since the state government last month withdrew the general consent (under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act)
Asked about this, Thakur said "its your imagination. The CBI never said that."
