Ballari, Nov 12: State home minister Ramalinga Reddy said that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has washed off its hands in the illegal mining and transportation of ore scam.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday, November 13, the minister added, “As many as 57 companies had involved in illegal mining and transportation of ore. The CBI could have got into the root of the scam. But it ended the probe midway,”
“The state has suffered huge losses due to unabated mining and transportation of ore. The issue will be discussed in Cabinet meeting. The Cabinet sub-committee has taken several decisions on this issue,” he said.
"The Union government has been misusing the central agencies like CBI, I-T, ED, RBI and the Election Commission," he alleged.
Speaking on the probe into murder of Gauri Lankesh, Ramalinga Reddy said, "The SIT has taken the suspects into custody. It is too early to reveal the identity of the suspects,”
