HC rejects plea for CBI probe in UP CM's role in 2007 riots
The Allahabad High Court on Thursday rejected a petition seeking a CBI probe in Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath's role in the 2007 Gorakhpur riots. The petition had contended that "one cannot be a judge in his own case". Adityanath, who was the MP from Gorakhpur at the time of riots, was accused of inciting communal riots through hate speeches.
