The Hindu
Congress member Eshwar Khandre on Tuesday demanded that the government opt for a High Court-monitored probe into the CD scandal involving former Minister Ramesh Jarkiholi.
Participating in the debate on the State Budget in the Assembly, he said the government should write a letter in this regard to the Chief Justice of Karnataka. He maintained that no one had trust in the Special Investigation Team looking into the issue. If the government is really interested in bringing out the truth, it should opt for a High Court-monitored probe, he argued. He described the CD episode as a warning bell for those in public life.More Related News
