State opposes plea for CBI probe into Valmiki Corporation case; Karnataka High Court reserves order

The Karnataka High Court heard a plea seeking a CBI investigation into allegations of corruption within the Valmiki Development Corporation. The petitioners argued that state authorities were obstructing a fair investigation into the misuse of funds meant for the welfare of marginalized communities. However, the state government opposed the plea, stating that the ongoing investigation by local agencies was sufficient. The court reserved its judgment and will decide whether a CBI probe is warranted.
