No Andhra demand for CBI probe into woodcutters' killing: Rajnath
New Delhi, April 30
Home Minister Rajnath Singh
on Thursday said the central government cannot ask the CBI to probe the
killing of woodcutters in Andhra Pradesh as the state has not asked for
it.
"CBI inquiry can be set up only after the state government
asks for it. We are helpless because the state government has not asked
the centre to set up an inquiry," Rajnath Singh said in the Rajya Sabha.
The home minister said some public interest litigations (PILs) have been admitted in court.
"There is a PIL, if the court gives an order, state will be bound to constitute a probe," he said.
Twenty
woodcutters from Tamil Nadu, allegedly found felling red sanders wood,
were killed by police in the Seshachalam forest at the foot of the
Tirumala hills.
