Bombay High Court refused to order a CBI probe on activist Anna Hazare’s plea into the alleged sugar cooperative factories scam involving Rs 25,000 crore. Hazare has named politicians NCP President Sharad Pawar and his nephew Ajit Pawar in his petition, reports Press Trust of India.
“First file a police complaint based on your allegations and if they (police) refuse to register it, then approach their higher authorities and even if that does not work out then come to us” the court said. .
Hazare has filed two more civil PILs on the same issue which are expected to come up for hearing in due course.
Hazare has said in his petition “the scam” had engulfed the entire state and pulled it back by nearly 50 years.
