Dehra Dun, Uttarakhand: Uttarakhand government on Thursday asked the state top cop to examine the authenticity of the sting operation video CD released by BJP accusing Chief Minister Harish Rawat of corruption in liquor licenses.
Director General of Police (DGP) BS Sidhu will probe the veracity of the CD.
Media-in-charge of the chief minister, Surender Kumar said, "Chief Minister Harish Rawat had asked Uttarakhand DGP B S Sidhu to probe the authenticity of the CD and no action will taken against any official till the verification is done."
Mr Kumar also refuted suspension rumours of Uttarakhand chief minister's secretary Mohammad Shahid, who is alleged to be involved in the scam. He appealed to the BJP to provide the CD at the earliest so that the verification can be completed soon.
The BJP has objected to the government decision to appoint Mr Sidhu for the investigation.
BJP state president said, "About six cases are pending against DGP Sidhu and hearing of one of the cases is scheduled for today in the High Court. Everyone knows what truth would come out of the investigation by such a corrupt officer."
