Mumbai: In a significant development, the Maharashtra Government on Wednesday withdrew the general consent extended to the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe cases in the state.
With this, now, the CBI will need the state’s permission to enter its jurisdiction to carry out any investigation, effectively stripping the central agency of its powers to probe cases in Maharashtra.
Earlier three non-BJP-ruled states – Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal – have already withdrawn its general consent to let the CBI investigate cases in their jurisdiction.
