Dehradun: The CBI on Sunday summoned Uttarakhand chief minister Harish Rawat for questioning on Tuesday in connection with a sting operation.
Uttarakhand Chief Minister Harish Rawat said he will fully cooperate with the CBI after the investigation agency had asked him to appear before it on May 24 in connection with a probe into the purported sting operation.
"I will fully cooperate with the agency (CBI)," Rawat said.
Uttarakhand cabinet had on May 15 made a recommendation for forming a judicial panel headed by retired High Court judge to probe into a string of significant issues during the President's rule in the state.
The state cabinet also had decided to constitute a Special Investigating Team (SIT) to probe the case as it was a state subject.
Rawat said that CBI, the SIT and the judicial panel wil simultaneously probe into the sting operation. The CBI had last week rejected the state government's notification withdrawing the case related to the sting operation.
