On this Special Report, the focus is on the dramatic arrest and subsequent release of Shafaat Ahmed Shanglu in the 1989 Rubaiya Sayeed kidnapping case. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrested Shanglu on Monday, labelling him an 'absconder' with a ₹10 lakh reward on his head. However, a TADA court in Jammu rejected the agency's plea for remand on Tuesday, paving the way for his release. Shanglu's lawyer argued that the suspect was never absconding and had been available to investigators. The programme highlights the embarrassment for the CBI and the questions raised about the investigation into the abduction of the daughter of former Home Minister Mufti Mohammad Sayeed.
