Srinagar, July 29 - Chaotic scenes marred the Jammu and Kashmir assembly for the third day as the speaker accepted a breach of privilege motion against opposition members Wednesday after they linked Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to a sex scandal prompting him to offer his resignation.

After the session began in the morning following a day of high drama, Speaker Mohammed Akbar Lone read a letter from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) saying Abdullah had never been named in the infamous sex racket that rocked the Kashmir Valley in 2006.

The premier investigating agency probed the prostitution racket in which some top politicians, bureaucrats and security officials were alleged to be involved.

Armed with the CBI letter, Law Minister Ali Mohammed Sagar told the speaker that PDP's Muzaffar Hussain Baig had made a false accusation against the chief minister and the National Conference was moving a breach of privilege motion against him.

As the letter was tabled in the house, PDP legislators led by Mehbooba Mufti tore its copies demanding a judicial probe into the chief minister's alleged involvement.

The opposition accused the CBI of defending Abdullah, 39, who became chief minister in January this year and is known as a young reformist politican with a clean image. 'We demand a judicial probe. The CBI investigation is unacceptable,' Mufti shouted in the house.

They said Abdullah's name had figured in the 'shame list' that was part of the high court judgement delivered in the case in 2007 by Justice Bashir Ahmad Kirmani.

The house was earlier adjourned following noisy protests by PDP members.
