Extracts of an article by an atrticle by @sarkar_swati :>The letter of the law does indeed allow an investigating officer to summon and question any individual including an IB officer on duty. Regardless, the prospect is troubling as it is far from clear how an IB officer is expected to prove the veracity of his information without revealing his sources. The latter would in turn seriously undermine the acquisition of intelligence information, not merely by the officer in question, but by the entire agency. Yet, prevention of terror attacks critically rely on the timely processing of intelligence information. I am not arguing that we should go by the word of any one officer, but rather on the verification of the input from the agency. A professional intelligence agency will have a command and control structure that documents such input and superior officers will be in the knowhow of the same. Thus, certification from the IB director ought to suffce in instances where such inputs are questioned. In fact, the IB director Ibrahim has owned up the input in writing, as one of his letters leaked to a media group, Headlines Today, reveals.Spare our war on terror! | Niti Central niticentral/2013/06/18/spare-our-war-on-terror-91753.html
