Ambulance service: Raje approves probe by CBI

Officials in the Chief Minister’s Office confirmed that Raje had given her approval to the recommendation and a letter was despatched to the state home department.

Officials said the CBI reserves its right to examine the merit of the case before initiating an inquiry. However, in cases involving ministers and government schemes, the investigating agency does comply with the request and undertakes an inquiry.

Gehlot told The Indian Express, “Decisions such as tendering in an ambulance service are not taken at the level of the chief minister. The health department and the minister concerned take these decisions. If the government is serious about a probe why did it not name the bureaucrats concerned at the level of the principal secretary and others, who actually handled the matter.”
