She confirmed to ANI that the case will next be heard on August 27 and CBI will have to submit their report by then. “CBI has been asked to submit the status report on the given date. Also, CBI has been informed that no information should be leaked about their investigation. Only court will be informed about the investigation done,” said Sinha to ANI. She further added that a “responsible officer” will assist the court in the next hearing when CBI submits the report.
