The Punjab government on Monday, 9 November, revoked general consent to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to carry out any investigation in the state, ANI reported.
The CBI will now have to take permission from the state government on a case-to-case basis.
Punjab becomes the ninth non-BJP state – like Jharkhand, Bengal, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra and Rajasthan – to effectively shut its gates to the central probe agency.
