The Maharashtra government on Friday told the Bombay High Court that it would seek a copy of the letter written by Ministry of Home Affairs, which allegedly said that Punjab government had the power to prosecute IPS officer SS Virk, now a director general in Maharashtra police.

Newspaper reports on Thursday said that Punjab government had filed chargesheet against Virk for 'politicking and misuse of official position' when he was serving as DGP of Punjab police.
