AP govt issues GO ordering CBI probe into Antarvedi chariot fire case

The AP government on Friday issued a GO handing over the Antarvedi chariot fire mishap case to the CBI. The decision to order for the CBI investigation was taken on Thursday evening as the YSRCP government took the chariot fire case seriously. DGP Gautam Sawang has already written a letter to the Union Home Ministry regarding the state’s willingness to hand over the case to the CBI. The AP government has intelligent inputs that some forces were trying to create communal violence with the chariot fire incident. Meanwhile, more than 200 police personnel were deployed in and around the Antarvedi temple.
