Ravi death case: K’taka relaxes timeline for CBI
7 April 2015 5:52 AM IST
Relenting to the Central Bureau of Investigation’s (CBI) insistence, the Karnataka government on Monday removed the three-month deadline set for the probe by the central agency into the "unnatural" death of an upright IAS officer which had sparked public outrage.
Within hours of CBI’s refusal to accept the state’s request for a time-bound probe into the alleged suicide of DK Ravi, Karnataka Home Department issued a fresh order, stating that the agency probe the matter and “take necessary action at the earliest,” doing away with the three-month timeframe.
Rejecting the government’s request, the CBI had said there is no provision in law to complete probe in a given period and sent a communication to the state seeking a fresh notification to take over the probe.
