Govt ready for CBI probe into Kalburgi case, says George

The State government is ready to hand over the probe into the killing of M M Kalburgi to the CBI, Home Minister K J George said on Monday.

Speaking to mediapersons here, George said: “The State government is ready to hand over the murder case to the CBI.”

Many opine that the killing of three rationalists - Dr Narendra Dabolkar, Govindrao Pansare and Prof M M Kalburgi - show a similar pattern.

The court in Maharashtra had handed over the Dabholkar and Pansare’s murder cases to the CBI. 

Pansare’s family members have also demanded a CBI probe. At present, the State Criminal Investigation Department is probing the Kalburgi case.
