Haryana Home Secretary S S Prasad confirmed that the recommendation was indeed made to the government of India. "The Haryana Government has recommended Government of India transfer the case of Pradyuman Thakur to the CBI for further investigation," Prasad said. In this regard, he also wrote a letter to the CBI to start investigation.
Chief Minister of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar had promised a CBI investigation into the murder a week ago. However, the CBI, earlier in the day, stated that it did not receive any notification from the Haryana Government to take up the investigation.
