Even 26 years after the Bhopal gas leak killed over 15,000 people, the CBI refuses to reveal the details of its correspondence with External Affairs Ministry on the extradition of main accused Warren Anderson saying disclosure would impede the process of bringing him back.
A former Joint Director of the agency who led the probe into the disaster between 1994-95 had claimed that MEA had asked the CBI not to follow Anderson’s extradition.
In an RTI reply to Abhishek Shukla the agency now says that the correspondence between MEA and CBI which took place 15 years ago could not be revealed as it would “impede the process of extradition and prosecution” of Anderson. — PTI
