Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij told the Assembly on February 26 that a CBI probe will be announced in connection with the killing of the Indian National Lok Dal's (INLD) State unit chief, Nafe Singh Rathee. Mr. Vij also denied the Opposition's charge that the law-and-order mechanism has collapsed in the State.
"If the House is only satisfied with a CBI probe, then I assure the members that we will hand over the case to the CBI," Mr. Vij said while speaking on an adjournment motion moved by the Congress over Haryana's law-and-order situation.
Speaker Gian Chand Gupta admitted the adjournment motion as the Congress demanded a high court judge-monitored CBI probe into Rathee's killing.
