Patna: In the Muzzafarpur shelter home case, a special court has ordered a Central Bureau of Investigation probe against the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The decision came in after the case was shifted to Delhi from Bihar, in order to finish the trial within six months.

A source reported this is not the first time Nitish Kumar-led government is under the radar. Throughout the investigation, the members of Kumar's government failed to justify to the legal authorities. Earlier as well, the Supreme Court cracked a whip at the cabinet minister Manju Verma for the failure in the shelter home case. Meanwhile, now a special POCSO court has ordered an enquiry against the CM. Reportedly, the Bihar government has been complicit in so far providing the inputs to the investigating agencies.
