Bengaluru/Dharwad, Aug 31 : The Karnataka government today decided to hand over to CBI the probe into the murder of noted Kannada progressive thinker and scholar M M Kalburgi even as his body was laid to rest with full state honours.
The state Cabinet took the decision to refer the case to the central agency, a day after the 77-year-old vocal and outspoken rationalist fell to the bullets of two unidentified men at his residence at Dharwad in north Karnataka, considered the state’s cultural capital.
“We have decided along with handing over the case to CID, also to refer it to CBI,” Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister T B Jayachandra told reporters in Bengaluru after a Cabinet meeting. (PTI)

CBI, corruption, Raja, Telecom
The CBI registered a disproportionate assets case against former Communications Minister A.Raja along with 16 others. Raja is already facing a CBI inquiry in the 2G spectrum allocation case.
It is interesting to note that many of the former Communication Ministers like Sukh Ram, Dayanidhi Maran had faced corruption cases. Of course, telecom is one of the most profitable sectors and bribery, corruption, favouritism are all part in the crony capitalism.

Any thing can happen in India, it seems. The Supreme Court has now asked the Central Vigilance Commission to give its views on whether a probe is required to find out if any of the coal block allocations cases has been compromised as a result of the large number of meetings of the CBI Director Ranjit Sinha with the accused corporates.
Interesting! CBI is being inquired. It is clear that corporates in India can influence almost any body.

The Karnataka CM has now been compelled to hand over the death case of D.K.Ravi IAS’s death case to the CBI after direction from Congress President Sonia Gandhi. The entire country and in the Parliament also there has been strong protest and demand to hand over the case to CBI, but the CM only wanted a CID enquiry under the state government. DK Ravi IAS was the Additional Commissioner, Commercial Taxes who was organising raids on the powerful business community for tax evasion etc.
Let the CBI enquiry bring forth the truth.

It is reported that former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh may be examined by the CBI in connection with the coal scam case. During the UPA government period itself, almost all political parties demanded the same, but the CBI did not act.
Now there is a change of the government and the UPA is not in power, Dr. Manmohan Singh is going to be examined by the CBI.
It is clear now, how the CBI is being influenced by the government in power.

CAG, CBI, Freedom, Government
The cat is out of the bag! The Central Government has stated that it is against giving more powers to CBI. Earlier, the government spokesmen always used to say that let law takes its own course. It was when the CBI was completely under its control. After the Supreme Court intervened asked the CBI not to consult the government in the coal scam etc. before submitting its report to the court, the government has become agitated. It very well knows that once CBI is given freedom to inquire on its own with out the control of the government, the Ministers, top politicians etc. will be caught by the CBI. That is why now both the Prime minister as well as Finance Minister has started attacking the CAG and CBI and don’t want to give it freedom to enquire in the corrupt cases etc.
The Supreme Court should ensure the Independence of the CBI. It should not be the wagging tail of the ruling party.
