Bengaluru: In yet another embarrassment for Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, the High of Karnataka, on Tuesday gave directives to Lokayukta police to continue probe on graft cases registered.

The divisional bench comprising Chief Justice S.K.Mukharjee and Justice Ravi Malimatt, ruled to continue probe on graft cases registered in Lokayuktha police.

Earlier, the court stayed the government’s decision to transfer all the graft cases registered in lokayuktha to newly formed ACB.

This comes as major blow to Siddaramaiah, who has been strongly vouching for the ACB.
