The petitioners have contended that the a special task force is investigating the matter but there is no chance of a fair investigation as it is an agency under the state government.

So, the probe should be handed over to the the premier central investigating agency, they said. It was requested on behalf of the state government on Wednesday that Advocate General Raghvendra Singh will argue the matter and it should be listed after summer vacations.
