NEW DELHI, May 24: The CBI has closed a corruption case against former Indian Olympic Association President Narinder Dhruv Batra and Hockey India Executive Director Cdr R K Srivastava as it could not find evidence of wrongdoing against them.
The CBI had registered an FIR in the July 2022 case after its three-month-long preliminary enquiry report found prima facie material indicating the commissions of cognizable offences relating to criminal conspiracy, criminal breach of trust, and corruption against Batra.
Some officials of Hockey India including its Executive Director R K Srivastava, former President Rajinder Singh and former Secretary General Mohd Mushtaque Ahmad were also booked.
The Central probe agency has now filed a closure report in the case before a special court & now the court will decide whether to accept the report and close the matter or direct the agency to investigate further.
