BJP-ruled Madhya Pradesh government on Thursday said that the CBI requires written consent from the state administration to probe cases in its jurisdiction. With this, the state has now joined the list of Opposition-ruled states like Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Punjab, Kerala and Telangana where the CBI is required to seek permission.

To investigate private individuals, government officials, or any entities within the state, the agency will now need written clearance from the Madhya Pradesh administration. As per Section 6 of the Delhi Special Police Establishment Act, the CBI must seek consent from a state government to investigate its jurisdiction.

According to NDTV, the order has retrospective effect and it will come into effect from July 1.

States’ requirement for the central probe agency to obtain permission for an investigation on its soil hit the headlines last year amid allegations by Opposition parties that the ruling BJP uses federal agencies to target rival leaders.
