Saurabh’s foreign partner was cited as the reason in the IB report. The Supreme Court Collegium was so adamant on the name of Saurabh Kripal that despite the IB report, in March 2021, the then Justice SA Bobde wrote a letter to the government requesting further clarification about Saurabh. But in reply to the CJI, the government repeated the point about Saurabh’s foreign partner.
