In a significant development, the State government has extended the tenure of the Justice (Rtd) V.K. Mohan Commission probing the “inconclusive, meandering and directionless” Central investigation in the UAE gold smuggling case.
The Commission had been appointed by the government after the investigations carried out by various Central agencies in the State since July 2020 into the gold smuggling seemed to be reaching nowhere .
The State Cabinet on Wednesday decided to extend the Commission’s term for another six months with effect from May 7, 2022.
