PANJIM: The Chief Minister Dr Pramod Sawant today said that he is ready to hand over the labour gate scam case to Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) for investigation.
Responding to question, Sawant said that he has asked Labour department to submit details of the case. “If required, I am ready to hand over the case to ACB for investigation,” he said.
The Goa Lokayukta has ordered ACB to file FIR against “unknown” as well as the fake beneficiaries of the Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) welfare funds.
It has also said that investigation can be handed over to CBI if there is possible involvement of politicians.
The Goa Forward Party had moved Lokayukta with the complaint of alleged irregularities in the BOCW welfare fund scheme.
