The Karnataka government removes the three-month time frame for probe into IAS officer DK Ravi's death after CBI objects to restrictions.

This morning, the CBI turned down the request of the Karnataka government seeking a time-bound probe in the alleged suicide of IAS officer D K Ravi, saying there is no provision in law to complete investigations in a given period.

CBI sources said that a communication has been sent to department of personnel and training requesting for a fresh notification to takeover probe in Ravi's death.

They said once fresh notification is received, the agency will examine the matter whether to takeover probe or not in the controversial death which has snowballed into a major political controversy in Karnataka.
