Porn CD case: Anara seeks CBI probe

Jammu - Anara Gupta, the former Miss Jammu, today filed a writ petition in the High Court here seeking CBI investigation into the much publicised porn CD case, which was reopened again on the direction of a lower court.

Accompanied by her mother Raj Rani, Anara filed the petition in which she said she did not have faith in police probe and hence wanted a CBI probe.

She was arrested on October 24, 2004 and allegedly kept in illegal confinement and tortured by police.

Jammu and Kashmir Crime Branch police, after completion of investigation in the matter, filed a final report before the High Court and Jammu chief judicial magistrate for closure of the case as nothing was found against her.

While the HC allowed the closure of the case in December 2005, CJM Sanjay Dhar rejected the plea and directed the Director General of Police (DGP) in May 2006 for fresh investigations into the case.

The DGP constituted a special investigation team in August 2006. The team has not started investigations so far.

A similar petition filed by social activist Amit Chouhan for a CBI probe is pending before a Division Bench at Srinagar.
