New Delhi: These days many Congress leaders are on the radar of investigative agencies. They include P. Chidambaram among the prominent faces. Now another senior Congress leader is in the CBI target. Former Uttarakhand CM and Congress veteran Harish Rawat may have difficulties. The CBI will file an FIR against them in the case of horse-trading. The investigating agency gave this information before a single bench of High Court Justice RC Khulbe during the hearing of the case.

The next hearing will now be on 20 September. According to the case, in 2016, a private channel showed a sting of the then Chief Minister Harish Rawat. In this sting, Rawat has seen bargaining with MLAs to save the government. During this period some Congress MLAs joined BJP and the state was under President's rule. The matter of imposition of President's rule first reached the High Court and later the Supreme Court. Where the court reinstated the Rawat government in the state.

Rawat had filed a petition in the High Court against the CBI investigation, on which the hearing is going on. Former Congress leader Harak Singh Rawat, who joined the BJP, also filed a petition in this matter. Seeking to register an FIR on Harish Rawat, he said that the meeting of the state cabinet to quash the CBI probe was not valid. It is worth mentioning that even before the resumption of the government, during the President's rule, on the recommendation of the Governor, the Center had issued orders to investigate this sting case with the CBI.

When the Harish Rawat government was reinstated, it was decided to withdraw the recommendation of the CBI inquiry done by the Governor in the Cabinet meeting and get the matter investigated by the SIT. In the absence of approval from the Central Government, preliminary investigations were conducted against Rawat by the CBI.
