New Delhi, February 22

The Supreme Court will tomorrow hear former Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Kalikho Pul’s wife plea for a CBI probe into his mysterious suicide last year. A suicide note purportedly written by Pul levelled allegations of corruption against many people holding public offices.

Dangwimsai had written a letter to Chief Justice of India JS Khehar seeking an FIR and an impartial probe.

Turning her letter into a petition, the matter has been listed before a Bench of Justices Adarsh Kumar Goel and UU Lalit on Thursday. 

Pul took over the reins of Arunachal on February 19, 2016, for a brief period but had to relinquish the job following a Supreme Court order in July. He allegedly committed suicide on August 9 last year and his body was found hanging at the official residence of the CM.
