Bihar Government Mandates Prior Consent for CBI Probes
· India · ANI, Indian Express
The Bihar government has issued a mandate requiring the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to obtain prior consent before initiating probes against state public servants. This policy change restricts the agency's ability to conduct investigations within the state without explicit permission from the administration. The directive aligns Bihar with other states that have previously withdrawn general consent for the central agency.
Why it matters
This move significantly alters the operational landscape for central investigative agencies in Bihar, potentially complicating corruption probes involving state officials.
