Karnataka government would stick to its decision of not referring the case of mysterious death of an upright IAS officer to CBI, Home Minister K J George said today.

"Whatever decision we have taken on the floor of the House (Assembly), that is the decision and we will stick to it," George told reporters after a cabinet meeting.

There has been a clamour for CBI probe from Opposition parties and the family of the IAS officer D K Ravi, who was found hanging from a ceiling fan at his flat on Monday.

The BJP and JDS have been demanding a CBI probe and blocked the proceedings of the Assembly on the issue for the last three days.
