CBI gets nod from Hamid Ansari to prosecute JD(U) MP Anil Sahani in LTC Scam

New Delhi: Rajya Sabha chairman Mohammed Hamid Ansari on Friday gave his approval to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to prosecute Janata Dal (United) MP Anil Sahni for his alleged role in the Leave and Travel Concession (LTC) scam. The scam relates to reimbursements being claimed against fake boarding passes and bills from the Rajya Sabha Secretariat. The CBI had filed a chargesheet against Sahni and three others in the scam in October last year. The agency had sought a prosecution sanction against Sahni, but went ahead and filed the chargesheet due to a delay in the process.
