CBI needs state govt’s consent to probe matters in a state: Virbhadra

Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh, accused in a disproportionate assets case along with others, on Tuesday claimed in Delhi High Court that CBI cannot on its own decide to probe offences outside Delhi without the consent of the concerned state.

His counsel told Justice Vipin Sanghi that in the instant matter, the alleged offence was committed in Himachal Pradesh as the disproportionate assets were located there and hence the police of that state should have been probing it.
