Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij announced in the Assembly on Monday that the probe into the killing of Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) State president Nafe Singh Rathee would be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after the Opposition Congress moved an adjournment motion demanding a discussion on the law and order situation in the State.
“If the House is only satisfied with a CBI probe, then I assure the members that we will investigate the case only through the CBI,” Mr. Vij said, responding to the motion, which was admitted by Speaker Gian Chand Gupta after the Congress sought a High Court judge-monitored CBI probe into the killing.
The Home Minister, however, denied the Opposition’s charge that law and order had collapsed in the State. He said the State police are investigating the case, but he cannot share the details at present.
