New Delhi: There was no relief for Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav and his sons Akhilesh and Prateek in the disproportionate assets case. The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the Central Bureau of Investigation can continue to probe allegations against Mulayam, Akhilesh and Prateek independently.
The court has ruled that the CBI does not have to report to the Centre in the case. Meanwhile, the case against Akhilesh Yadav's wife Dimple Yadav has been dropped.
