Newskarnataka-Bangalore

Bangalore : Even as agitation demanding CBI probe into Sowjanya rape and murder case is picking up across the state, the Home Minister KJ George has raised many an eyebrow by saying there was no need to hand over the case to the CBI.

Speaking to the media after  looking into the progress of the CID probe into the case, the home minister said  the state government  had changed the investigation officer of this case following an appeal by Belthangady MLV Vasanth Bangera.

He made  it clear that there was no pressure on the government or the CID  as far as the investigation into the case was concerned.

He said the investigation has been expedited and the CID report would soon be submitted to the government.
