CBI to revamp Interpol division after goof-ups

The Central Bureau of Investigation plans to revamp its Interpol division. The CBI sources have said that the agency will start quarterly review of Red Corner Notices after a series of goof-ups left the government red-faced.
In a first official reaction, the Ministry of Home Affairs has said it is reviewing the list, but it won't be recalled. The mistake has been accepted and error regretted.
The move comes after three major slip-ups by the CBI. First, it was Wazhul Kamar Khan and then Feroz Abdul Rashid Khan, two accused, who were named in India's Most Wanted list, but were traced to Mumbai.
As if that wasn't enough, the CBI website also listed Manipuri militant outfit United National Liberation Front's chairman Rajkumar Meghen as one of the most wanted while Meghan has been in the custody of the NIA since 2010.
Meghen, who was arrested on October 29 last year, was listed on the CBI's website among the most wanted. NIA sources told Headlines Today that the information on his arrest was shared with the Manipur Police, which had initiated a Red Corner Notice against him. Sources say that Manipur police should have cancelled the notice, but that doesn't seem to have happened. Though Meghen didn't figure in the fugitive list handed over to Pakistan, his name on the CBI website has come as another embarrassment for the agency.
The CBI on Thursday suspended an inspector and transferred an SP and a DSP rank officers for wrongly listing Feroz Abdul Rashid Khan.
