Plea in SC for CBI probe into scams during Mulayam rule
Petitioner sought SC intervention and protection of Lucknow HC judgment, which had order a CBI probe.

New Delhi: A week after the Central Bureau of investigation expressed its inability to investigate cases relating to scams during Mulayam Singh Yadav's regime in Uttar Pradesh, the Supreme Court admitted a petition challenging this.

The petitioner has sought the court's intervention and protection of Lucknow High Courts' judgment, which had ordered a CBI inquiry.

Bhaujan Samaj Party supremo and UP Chief Minister Mayawati has already said that Mulayam's regime was "a government of scams".

She had also sacked 7,400 policemen and suspended seven senior Indian Police Service officers for alleged irregularities in the selection process.

Besides the seven IPS officers - including an additional director-general of police and two inspector-generals, 75 provincial police Service officers were suspended in connection with the alleged recruitment scam.

The suspended IPS officers were ADGP VK Bhalla, IGPs AD Mishra and KK Saxena, DIGs VK Agarwal, Prabhat Kumar and Malkhan Singh Yadav and SP GK Goswami.

The government also annulled the recruitment of 1900 personnel in PAC and the rest in Radio Cell and other departments of the state police.
