Central agency to investigate bar case if required, says V Muraleedharan

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Union Minister V Muraleedharan said central agency would investigate the bar bribery case if required. A probe will be conducted if anyone voices such a demand but so far no one has demanded it. The union minister's response was soon after the BJP alleged that UDF-LDF collusion is taking place in the state in cases including bar bribery.

Muraleedharan also criticised the state election commission. It is not acceptable for the election commission to act as a spatula for any political party. He said he would consider all possible legal action against it.
