Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Monday lashed out at the CBI and said the Central agency had reduced the entire matter of the Bargari sacrilege cases to a "charade".
The CM also said the CBI was acting on the "diktats of its political masters" in Delhi and the move was "politically motivated".
His comments came in the wake of the CBI filing a plea in a Mohali court on Monday, urging that their earlier closure report be "kept in abeyance".
The Central agency prayed before the court, "Present application may be taken on record considering that further investigation is continuing and till its conclusion the closure report filed earlier may kindly be kept in abeyance."
