CBI gets more than half of their complaints through SMS
Mumbai: The CBI, while inaugurating the Vigilance Week today, said over half of its traps are registered through SMS. "The SMS campaign started last year is a huge success and out of the 26 traps registered until now, the complaints of over half have been received through SMS," CBI Joint Director Rishiraj Singh told reporters here. "This includes the case registered against Sarobjot Singh, son of Buta Singh," Singh said.
The CBI has this year registered 26 trap cases against officials of railways, Income Tax officials, Customs and Central Excise officers. "We will be holding meetings with chief vigilance officers so that corruption is nipped in the bud," Singh said.
He said for better functioning of the agency, the government has to fill up the 40 per cent vacancies in the agency and appoint more legal counsels.
