After West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh, the Congress-led Chhattisgarh government Thursday withdrew general consent accorded to the Central Bureau of Investigation to probe cases in the state, officials said.

The state government has written to the home ministry and the Ministry of Personnel to convey its decision in this regard, they said.

With this, the CBI would now require permission of the state government to conduct raids and probe in Chhattisgarh, the officials said.

Earlier, West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh had withdrawn general consent accorded to the CBI to probe cases.
