Supreme Court dismisses Digvijaya Singh’s plea seeking CBI probe into Madhya Pradesh recruitment scam

In a relief for the Shivraj Singh Chouhan government, the Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a petition filed by a bunch of Congress leaders including party’s general secretary Digvijaya Singh, demanding CBI probe into Madhya Pradesh’s Vyapam (Madhya Pradesh Professional Examination Board) scam. “The Special Task Force (STF) is already probing the case under the direct supervision of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. The STF has many professional people including investigators. We don’t see a need to hand over the probe to any other agency at this stage,” said a bench led by Chief Justice of India H L Dattu.
