New Delhi: Has CBI decided to grant clemency to Santosh Singh, who has been convicted for the sensational rape and murder of Priyadarshani Mattoo and sentenced to death by the Delhi High Court?
In an official booklet circulated to the media by the Central investigating agency, Santosh Singh is stated to have been sentenced to life imprisonment.
The glaring mistake about the Mattoo case, for which the Delhi High Court sentenced Singh to death, figures in the official document of the agency at a time when it's drawn severe flak from the public as well as the court for its bad handling of the case.
News agency PTI, which first brought the issue to the fore, contacted CBI officials for reaction on the gaffe, but the babus are not willing to talk. Those who spoke on the condition of anonymity sought to dismiss it as a printing error.
