Jharkhand High Court on Thursday ordered a CBI probe into alleged cash dealings in Rajya Sabha elections. One person had filed a petition in the High Court seeking CBI probe.
The Jharkhand High Court on Thursday directed the Election Commission (EC) to order an inquiry by a specialised agency like the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) into circumstances leading to the countermanding of the Rajya Sabha elections in the state.
The EC countermanded the Rajya Sabha elections following seizure of Rs 2.15 crore from a car on the outskirts of the city by Income Tax sleuths and the Ranchi police hours before the polling.
