Manipur government seeks CBI probe into Monika Devi case

The Manipur Government has formally requested the Centre on Monday for a CBI probe into the Monika Devi case. The "manipulative game" played by the bureaucratic beasts at IOA and Sports Authority of India (SAI) effectively kept the weightlifter Monika Devi out of the Beijing Olympics.
The State chief secretary on behalf of the government wrote a letter to the Union Secretary Satyananda Mishra, Ministry of Personnel and Public Grievances, seeking a CBI probe into Monika's doping charges. A copy of the letter has also been sent to the CBI director, Ashwani Kumar.
Manipur Chief Minister, O Ibobi Singh, is camping in New Delhi on the issue. He also wrote a letter to the Prime Minister seeking the CBI inquiry on a priority basis.
The Union Government is yet to react on the probe. However, Monika was cleared of doping charges only on the intervention of the PMO.
