Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde today refrained from commenting on CBI searches on Congress MP Naveen Jindal and former Minister of State for Coal Dasari Narayan Rao, saying law will take its course.
"It is their (CBI) job. I will not give my comment. It doesn't matter. Whatever position, if he (Jindal) is involved, according to law they should proceeded," Shinde said replying to reporters' question on the action of the probe agency.
CBI today registered a new FIR in the coal blocks allocations case and alleged cheating and graft by the two Congress leaders it named as accused in the case.
The agency has accused Jindal, Rao and their companies of alleged criminal conspiracy, cheating and violating relevant provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
