Indian law enforcement agency wants to block information about graft against its officials

India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) wants to stop disclosing details of allegations of corruption against its own officials under the RTI Act--an information being provided by it at present under the transparency law. The agency will challenge before the Delhi High Court an order of the Central Information Commission directing the agency to disclose information about two of its officials who are facing allegations of corruption. An RTI activist had sought to know to details of allegations against the officers who were part of CBI's probe in a coal scam and were arrested by the agency while allegedly taking a bribe to favour a businessman using their influence.
