The PIL has sought a CBI probe into the withdrawal of the SS fund and removal of Ram from the post of DGP for a fair probe.

'The CAG has pointed out that the Bihar Finance Rules and manual of the special branch were overruled while withdrawing the SS fund,' says the petition.

It further said: 'I am a tax payer and the fund raised through taxes are being misused. The doubt also arises regarding use of the SS fund as the Maoist incidents are rising in the state.'

The SS fund is being used by police to fight Maoist rebels. The money is paid to police informers. Details are kept secret but police officials have to submit utilisation certificates to the CAG.
