A special judge in Rouse Avenue Courts ordered an inquiry after an accused, Prabhat Kumar, arrested by the federal agency, alleged torture by the CBI.

The Rouse Avenue Court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to further investigate alleged dereliction of duties and corrupt practices by Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) officials, following deaths at Delhi coaching centers.

In a strongly worded ruling, Special Judge (PC Act) Jitender Singh of the Rouse Avenue Court said the prosecution’s case was "legally infirm, unsustainable, and unfit to proceed any further in law". The court further observed that when the material collected by the agency was tested on admissibility, relevance and probative value, "the appearance of a coherent conspiracy dissolves," exposing the allegations as being founded on inadmissible material and post-facto reconstruction.
