Bombay HC Transfers Solapur Forest Plantation Scam Probe To CBI, Slams Police Over 4-Year Delay
The Bombay High Court transferred the alleged multi-crore forest plantation scam investigation in Solapur to the CBI, criticising the police for failing to file a chargesheet nearly four years after the FIR. The court said continued police investigation would derail justice and directed the Maharashtra government to hand over all records to the CBI.
