Central Bureau of Investigation has summoned Uttrakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat in connection with a sting operation probe in which he was allegedly shown offering bribe to rebel Congress MLAs to save his government. Mr. Rawat has been asked to appear before the agency on Tuesday.
Earlier, it had summoned him to appear before it on 9th of this month. However, the Chief Minister did not appear before the CBI due to health reasons. Two days back, Uttarakhand High Court had refused to quash the ongoing CBI probe into the sting operation.
