The CBI has filed a charge sheet in the infamous ₹250-crore pulses scam involving the export of 60,000 metric tonne of pulses despite a government ban in 2006-07 — nearly 17 years after a case was first registered in the matter — officials said.
The agency's investigation remained stalled during the period, with letters rogatory sent to three countries failing to elicit timely responses.
A letter rogatory – a judicial request sent by a court to a foreign country seeking its assistance in sharing information in a case – to New Zealand is still pending.
