NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court today asked the Centre and the CBI to apprise it of the investigation being carried out on the conspiracy aspect behind the making of the bomb that had killed former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi 26 years ago.
The apex court said it wanted to know about the further investigation which was carried out on this issue after one of the convicts in the assassination case claimed that this aspect was not being probed properly.
“What is the result of the investigation under section 173 on this? We want only this. What is the result of the re- investigation or the further investigation on this? Kindly address us on this,” a bench comprising Justices Ranjan Gogoi and Navin Sinha said.
The bench said it wanted the Solicitor General or an Additional Solicitor General to apprise it about the status of investigation on this aspect and fixed the matter for hearing on August 23. (AGENCIES)
