Karnataka withdraws general consent to CBI
02-Oct-2024The move came amid calls for a CBI probe against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the MUDA land scam case
The state Cabinet in Karnataka on Thursday decided to withdraw its earlier notification granting unrestricted permission for CBI to conduct investigations in the state.
The move came amid calls for a CBI probe against Chief Minister Siddaramaiah in the MUDA land scam case, after a court on Wednesday directed the anti-corruption body Lokayukta to conduct an investigation.
Under the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, the government had earlier granted the central probe agency permission to freely carry out criminal investigations in the state.
