Octogenarian Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh may soon face an FIR in the money laundering and disproportionate income case.

Additional Solicitor-General of India Sanjay Jain on Wednesday urged before the Delhi High Court that a clear case of money laundering could be made against the Chief Minister as there is enough prima facie material available and said an undue delay is being caused by the investigating agency in registering the FIR.

The CBI in its earlier submission had appealed to the court to issue necessary orders to probe the allegations. In its affidavit, the CBI had said that to probe allegations against the Chief Minister for granting the Sai Koti Hydel Project to a company owned by Vakamulla Chandrashekhar, would require order of the competent High Court having the jurisdiction.
