The Supreme Court on Monday summoned Arunachal Pradesh Chief Secretary and Principal Secretary (Home) to appear before it on August 24 after the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) alleged that the state government was not cooperating with its court-ordered preliminary enquiry into public works contracts allegedly awarded to firms linked to the family members of Chief Minister Pema Khandu.
A bench of Justices Vikram Nath and Sandeep Mehta directed both senior officials to file their responses to the CBI's status report and explain the alleged "non-cooperation" in the probe.
