Who Is CBI Officer Seema Pahuja?
One of the CBI’s most astute officers, ASP Seema Pahuja, has been tasked with looking into the situation. Pahuja is an excellent fit for this complicated case because of her vast expertise in researching crimes under the Special Crime Unit. She received two Gold Medals for her exceptional investigative work between 2007 and 2018. When Pahuja solved the rape and murder case of “Gudia” in Shimla, he did so for the first time using a novel scientific technique.
She also used scientific data to support the conclusion of the Hathras case. Due to family obligations, Pahuja had previously chosen to voluntarily retire; however, the CBI Director at the time convinced her against doing so. Pahuja is regarded as impervious to outside pressures due to her impeccable career and reputation for integrity. Her engagement in any given situation is perceived as a guarantee of success.
