Madras High Court Declines CBI Probe In Savukku Shankar's Plea Alleging Swindling Of Funds From Ambedkar Champions Scheme

The Madras High Court has closed a plea that sought a CBI probe into alleged irregularities in the 'Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Champions Scheme,' a program in Tamil Nadu. The plea was filed by controversial YouTuber 'Savukku' Shankar. The court's decision to close the case likely came after considering the preliminary arguments and the response from the state government. The closure of the plea means that, for now, the court does not see sufficient grounds to transfer the investigation into the alleged scam to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The state's investigative agencies will likely continue to handle the matter. This development is significant in the context of the numerous legal battles involving Shankar, and it concludes this particular attempt to involve a central agency in probing the allegations related to the state government's welfare scheme.
