Prajwal case: Siddaramaiah affirms faith in SIT; sets aside demand for CBI probe

Setting aside the demand for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe into the sexual harassment case against Hassan MP Prajwal Revanna, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday affirmed faith in the Special Investigation Team (SIT) comprising the State police.

Speaking to reporters on his arrival at Mysuru airport, Mr. Siddaramaiah rejected the charges of the JD(S) that the SIT was a “puppet” in the hands of the government. He said his government never interferes in any lawful investigation by the police. “I trust the SIT will conduct an investigation as per law and submit a report,” he said.
