SC rejects plea by Maharashtra govt for SIT probe against Anil Deshmukh

Supreme Court has rejected the Maharashtra government's plea demanding a court-monitored Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe against former state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh. CBI's investigation can be biased as former Maharashtra Police chief Subodh Kumar Jaiswal is now the investigating agency's chief, the plea claimed. Deshmukh is being investigated in alleged corruption and bribery cases.
